Swiss Cheese Plant

This plant can either vine upwards on a surface such as a moss pole, or trail downwards like it would under a rainforest canopy, re-rooting as it travels. Giving the plant its common names, visible fenestrations develop on the leaves and grow as the plant develops. This plant is seemingly easy care, but one thing makes it a little more difficult, the humidity!

Common Names: Swiss Cheese Plant, Five Hole Plant, Adanson's monstera, Swiss cheese vine.

Botanical Name: Monstera adansonii
