Monstera Deliciosa – Glossy Green Leaves

Monstera deliciosa is a classic indoor plant known for its large, glossy green leaves that develop natural splits and openings as the plant matures. This plant is delivered at an approximate height of 75 cm in a Ø21 cm nursery pot, making it an easy size to place on the floor, a plant stand, or a low sideboard. The plant shown comes wrapped in a simple paper sleeve for protection during transport.

Often searched for as the “Swiss cheese plant”, Monstera deliciosa is valued for its architectural foliage and steady, forgiving growth. It suits calm Scandinavian interiors because it adds volume and greenery without needing constant attention. With the right light and a consistent watering routine, it will continue to push out new leaves through the growing season and gradually develop a fuller, more mature look.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium light, but growth will be slower and leaves may fenestrate less. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun.
• Watering routine: Water thoroughly when the top 3–5 cm of soil has dried. Let excess water drain away; do not leave the pot standing in water.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity is suitable. Higher humidity supports larger leaves and cleaner edges, but it adapts well to normal indoor conditions.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and avoid prolonged exposure below 15°C.

Placement in the home

Place your Monstera in a bright living room corner, beside a sofa, or near a window with filtered light. It also works well in a bedroom or home office where it can sit slightly back from the glass. If you want even growth, rotate the pot occasionally so the plant doesn’t lean toward the light source.

Care tips

Use a well-draining potting mix and consider repotting when roots begin circling the pot or emerging from drainage holes. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. If the stems start to spread, a simple moss pole or stake will support more upright growth and encourage larger leaves over time.
