The essential classic of decorative plants! There are not enough words to describe the beauty of the Monstera Deliciosa. We love it for its beautiful large heart-shaped leaves, deeply cut, shiny and sometimes perforated when ripe. The young leaves are entire, then become cut as the plant ages. It tolerates dim light. However, to obtain beautiful fenestrated and perforated sheets, it is advisable to install it in a bright room. Also, regular cleaning of its foliage is recommended to avoid the accumulation of dust. It can be grown as a trailing plant, but it will flourish as a climbing plant on a stake or trellis. In fact, it can reach up to 3 m in height when fixed to a good support! Emblem of Végétal Design.
