DESCRIPTION

The Swiss Cheese Plant gets its name from its large, heart-shaped leaves that develop lacy holes or fenestrations, making it look like a Swiss cheese.  Its leaves are more perforated and delicate than the Monstera deliciosa and the Adansonii is also smaller in size. 

For all its delicate beauty, the Swisss Cheese Plant is actually a low-maintenance plant. Put the plant near a window where it can get bright, indirect light. For the moisture level, Swiss cheese Plants like consistently moist soil but don’t want to be soggy. Watering once a week should be enough but you might need to experiment with frequency based on your home environment.

Due to its trailing nature, it will look and grow best in a spot where its trailing vines can be shown off. Simply trim vines if they start to look untidy. This will also encourage new growth.

Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
