The classic decorative plant! There aren't enough words to describe the beauty of the Monstera Deliciosa. We love it for its beautiful, large, heart-shaped, deeply cut leaves, shiny, and sometimes perforated when mature. The young leaves are entire, then become indented as the plant ages. It tolerates dim light. However, to obtain beautiful window-like and perforated leaves, it is advisable to place it in a bright room. Regular cleaning of its foliage is also recommended to prevent dust accumulation. It can be grown as a trailing plant, but it will thrive as a climber on a stake or trellis. In fact, it can reach up to 3 m in height when secured to a good support! Emblem of Végétal Design.
