Product Description

The Monstera Monkey leaf, whose official name is Monstera Adsonii, is the little brother of the well-known Swiss cheese plant. This playful houseplant is rather different, though: its leaves look as if they have been pricked through in the middle, which makes it a real eye-catcher in any room.

Care & tips for the Monstera Monkey Leaf - 25cm

The Monstera Monkey Leaf needs very little care. It keeps its lovely green colour if you give it a bright spot. To hold on to that deep green, put it in daylight rather than full sun. The plant can survive in full sun, but you'll need to water it more often and expect the colour to fade a little. Are those holey leaves growing into a proper jungle? You can cut the tendrils back wherever you like, it will simply carry on growing!

How much water does the Monstera Monkey Leaf - 25cm need?

The Monstera Monkey Leaf isn't a very thirsty plant, but it is still a tropical one. So it does like lightly moist soil, and as long as the soil hasn't dried out there's no need to water again.

How much light does the Monstera Monkey Leaf - 25cm need?

Shade or sunlight, the Monstera Monkey Leaf keeps growing anywhere. Do be careful with harsh sunlight though, as it isn't keen on that. If you want to keep the colour at its best, give the plant a bright spot but not full sun.

Is the Monstera Monkey Leaf - 25cm toxic?

This houseplant isn't toxic to the touch. Eating it is not a good idea, though, so take care if you have young children or a hungry cat.

Frequently asked questions about the Swiss cheese plant

How often should I water my Monstera?

Water your Monstera about once or twice a week, depending on the season and humidity. Make sure the top layer of soil dries out before watering again. In winter, you can water it a little less often.

Why are yellow spots appearing on the leaves of my pothos plant?

Yellow leaves usually indicate overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out a little and check that the water can drain away properly. Soil that is too wet can cause root rot.

Can the Monstera be placed in direct sunlight?

No, direct sunlight can burn the leaves of the Monstera.
It is better to place the plant in a bright spot with indirect sunlight, for example near an east- or west-facing window.

Why don't the leaves of my Monstera have holes?

Leaves without holes are usually caused by a lack of light. In that case, place the plant in a brighter spot (but not in direct sunlight) and provide sufficient nutrition during the growing season. Also keep in mind that young leaves often have few or no incisions. This is perfectly normal!

Why are the leaves of my Monstera drooping?

Limp leaves are often a sign of too much or too little water. Therefore, first check the moisture content of the soil and adjust the watering if necessary. Sometimes it can also be because the plant is not getting enough light. Please note: new leaves are often naturally a little limp, so this is no cause for concern! Are you unsure? Feel free to contact us and we will be happy to take a look at your plant with you.

How do I keep my Monstera shiny and healthy?

Wiping the leaves regularly with a damp cloth will keep them clean and shiny.
Remove dust, spray occasionally with a plant sprayer and ensure sufficient humidity.

Is the Monstera toxic to pets?

Yes, the Monstera is toxic to cats and dogs. Make sure pets do not chew on the leaves, as this can cause irritation to the mouth or stomach.
