This plant is delivered in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ12 cm nursery pot\u003c\/strong\u003e and measures approximately \u003cstrong\u003e25–30 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in height at the time of dispatch. Its fresh green foliage and relaxed growth habit make it an easy choice for calm, modern interiors where you want greenery without a lot of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the larger-leaved Monstera deliciosa, Monkey Leaf stays more delicate in scale, with thinner, more finely cut foliage. Over time it can grow upright when supported, or trail gently from a shelf. New leaves often start with fewer openings; the distinctive holes develop as the plant matures and receives consistent light.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal.

In lower light it will grow more slowly and may produce smaller leaves with fewer holes. If you prefer a trailing look, let stems cascade from a bookcase; for a more upright form, guide it onto a small moss pole or plant support.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a well-draining potting mix (houseplant soil blended with perlite or orchid bark works well) to prevent soggy roots. Empty excess water from the outer pot or saucer after watering. Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth, and wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep the surface clean and improve light uptake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monstera Monkey Leaf (\u003cem\u003eMonstera adansonii\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate size at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e ↕ 25–30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø 12 cm (nursery pot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53050286408023,"sku":"3014","price":53.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/6a4b1845-005f-4a67-91b0-c2741045d1fd_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1774183561","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/monstera-monkey-leaf-gatenplant-o12cm-%e2%86%9530cm","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
