Baby

Here I am! Your very own baby Swiss cheese plant. I hope you’re willing to take good care of me. Put me in a bright spot indoors and give me a little water every other day.

After 2 weeks

After 2 weeks of pampering, it’s time for a bigger pot! Preferably a pot of

2 liters or more, with holes in the bottom (so I don’t ‘drown’).

Inside

Back home in the rainforests of Central and South America, it’s always tropically warm. That’s why I like to be inside all year round in a bright spot without direct sunlight. If you keep the temperature around 20 degrees Celsius and you give me

enough to drink, I’ll grow like a weed!

Teenager

What you nurture will grow. I’m putting in a lot of effort as well. Am I twice as tall as the height of my pot? Then it’s time for a pot with morecapacity.

Growing

If you let me grow undisturbed, I’ll become a long green vine. You can also turn me into a bushy plant by anchoring my stem somewhere in the soil. From there, I’ll develop new roots and sprout in multiple places. You can also let me grow upward

using a moss stick or even let meclimb your wall with clips!

Propagating & water

The Monstera adansonii is very easy to propagate. You can do this by cutting a stem just above a leaf and placing it in water. Aft er a few weeks, new roots will grow from the stem. Plant the cutting in moist potting soil, and voilà, you have a brand-new Monstera! Ideal for gifting...

Is it time for a trim? Create a beautiful plant bouquet by putting several cuttings in a vase with water. Make sure to use special hydroponic nutrients, so the plant receives all the nutrients to thrive for an extended period. Handy for those who

quickly forget to water, and it’s also an eye-catcher in your interior!
