About the Monstera Deliciosa

Those dramatic split leaves (botanists call the holes fenestrations) get bigger and bolder as the plant matures and climbs. A tropical aroid from the rainforests of Central America, it wants to scramble upward.

🌿 Pro tipGive it a moss pole to climb and the new leaves come in larger and more fenestrated.
