The Monstera Monkey Leaf, officially known as Monstera adansonii, is the playful little brother of the well-known Swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa). Unlike its bigger brother, this plant has smaller leaves with striking holes in the middle, as if they had been pricked through. That unique leaf pattern makes the Monkey Leaf a real eye-catcher that gives any room a little extra character.
