Monstera Deliciosa with Lisbon basket black - 50cm - Ø17

The Monstera deliciosa is a beautiful green houseplant! With its large, green, heart-shaped leaves and slits, it's a real eye-catcher. Because of these slits, it's also known as the "swiss-cheese plant." In the tropical regions of South America, Monsteras climb and crawl. Thanks to aerial roots, the plant attaches itself to trees and can climb up to 20 meters! To ensure that even the lower leaves catch light, the plant develops slits. That's why the smallest leaves of this houseplant may not yet have slits. The name "Monstera" means "strange" in Latin. "Deliciosa" is derived from the delicious fruits the plant bears in nature. These fruits are said to be very tasty, or "delicious"! Originally from the South American jungle, the Monstera thrives in moist and shady environments. Because of its size and robustness, its leaves are sometimes used as packaging. Locals in South America sometimes wrap fish in Monstera leaves. However, we prefer to let it shine on the windowsill!
