Swiss Cheese Vine
Monstera Adansonii
The plant, by the plant
No, it's not a disease - the holes are the whole point. I'm the Swiss Cheese Vine, the eager climbing form of Monstera adansonii, and my perforated leaves are rainforest engineering: they let light filter through to my own lower leaves. Function, but make it fashion.
I'm the enthusiastic type: mist me regularly and I'll romp along walls, shelves and totems; trim me every few months and I'll come back thicker and leafier, like a good haircut. Bright, indirect light and lightly moist soil keep me climbing.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Small - 110mm nursery pot
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 40-70cm of vine
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, an established climber
Pets: holes in leaves, not in pets' diets - toxic if chewed.
Give me a Coconut Coir Totem to conquer and keep the leaves coming with Indoor Plant Food.

Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
