The Monstera Deliciosa is also called the Hole Plant. The plant owes its name to the special shape of the leaf. In English it is also called 'Swiss cheese plant'.
As the name says, the leaves are full of holes. It is a plant of the arum family and is native to Central and South America.
The Hole plant is a tropical climbing plant that can climb very high.
With the characteristic aerial roots, nutrients and moisture are absorbed from the tree trunk as well as from the air. In the jungle it is mainly dark and that is the reason why the hole plant grows well in shady places.
Care
It is a very strong houseplant, which can also stand in a somewhat dark place. The plant does not like direct sunlight. It is an air-purifying plant and has a beautiful green color.
The Monstera Deliciosa is a creeping climber and can withstand drought well, but prefers plenty of water. The plant, which can be many years old, grows quite fast, but that becomes less and less as it gets older.
The growth rate also decreases sharply at very low temperatures of ten degrees or less.
Plant height
The plant is supplied with a height of 70-80 cm (measured with pot).
The pot size is 21cm.
A great gift for your green friend, but certainly also for your less green friend. Does he or she not have green fingers? Then go through the five steps yourself and make it yourself for him or her. Sounds good, right?
