Monstera deliciosa, often referred to as the Swiss Cheese Plant or Split-Leaf Philodendron, is one of the most iconic tropical houseplants in the world. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, this species is beloved for its bold, architectural leaves and vigorous growth habit.

The large form of Monstera deliciosa develops massive, glossy green leaves that can reach 60–90 cm or more in width. As the plant matures and climbs, the leaves become deeply fenestrated — developing the dramatic holes and splits that have made the Monstera a symbol of tropical elegance. Its thick, aerial roots naturally attach to moss poles or trellises, supporting its steady upward growth.

When given space and good care, this species becomes a true indoor statement plant, transforming any room into a lush, jungle-inspired retreat. It is both visually striking and surprisingly forgiving, making it a favourite among beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts alike.

Monstera deliciosa (Large Form) – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It will tolerate moderate light but grows faster and produces more fenestrated leaves in higher light levels. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can burn the large leaves.

Watering

Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season but ensure excellent drainage. In winter, reduce watering as growth slows. Monsteras prefer slightly under-watered conditions over constantly wet soil.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 18–28°C. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (50–80%) keeps leaves glossy and healthy. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier if the air is very dry.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix – a blend of peat-free compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works best. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the medium and provide root space.

Feeding

Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Stop feeding in winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune to control size or remove older leaves as needed. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their glossy appearance. Train onto a moss pole or coir totem to support upright growth and encourage large, fenestrated leaves.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing climber that can reach 2–3 metres indoors with proper support. As it matures, it develops larger leaves and thicker stems, becoming a dramatic focal point in any room.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Small leaves without splits: Insufficient light or lack of climbing support.

  • Pests: Occasionally spider mites, thrips, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Discovered in the tropical forests of Mexico and Panama, Monstera deliciosa has been a houseplant favourite for over a century. Its name means “delicious monster,” referencing both its large, monstrous leaves and the edible (but rarely cultivated indoors) fruit it produces in nature. The large form represents the plant at its most mature and impressive, embodying tropical luxury and timeless design appeal.

a very serious read about ongoing and proposed climate intervention
Format: Kindle
This book has a lot of serious information. If it’s honing to of any use to you , then it will require active reading, note taking etc. The complex social involvement of political and business interests that already exist with the spread of non- native species of plants and animals in North America, Australia, South America etc. Since the 19th century gives this reader a reason to pause in his quest to find the “right, simple, effective strategy” which would require an unimaginable level of cooperation between the EU, Asia,and North America. The likely scenario is that as get closer to deadlines by the year 2030 and beyond, partial programs will be launched by various combinations of government and public, and business interest’s. The result isn’t optimistic but it will be a reality.

interesting science
Format: Hardcover
Under A White Sky, The Nature of The Future, Elizabeth Kolbert, 2021 In 2015 Elizabeth Kolbert won the Pulitzer Prize for her book the Sixth Extinction. In my review of that book, I wrote: Kolbert is not a scientist but a reporter and writer for The New Yorker magazine and as such her book is structured as a series of bylines as she travels around the world reporting on scientists investigating extinctions in both the present and the past. As in that book she adopts the same format but this time investigating “how the very sorts of interventions that have imperiled our planet are increasingly seen as the only hope for its salvation”. Ice cores from the Antarctic and Greenland have shown that the last 10,000 years of earths history have been the most benign and stable climatological periods in the last 100,000 years. During this time, we have been able to develop agriculture, an amazing technological and a pervasive globe encompassing culture with a population now of almost 8 billion people. Without this unusually stable climate most of our current civilization would probably have not evolved or been possible. Up to this point we humans have taken this for granted thinking that this benign state will somehow last forever. In Kolbert’s last book she emphasized that due to our own rapacious destruction of earth’s ecosystems and our destabilization of climate stability, this situation is coming to an end and not responding is not an option. Facing an unimaginable crisis of our own making how should we respond? When we intervene, are we smart enough not to cause newer unanticipated problems greater than the original problem we sought to solve? Kolbert travels around the world seeking an answer to this question. She visits places and examples where we historically have tried to solve problems such as sewage in Chicago or taming floods on the Mississippi only to create larger problems such as invasive species or sinking cities such as New Orleans. The most interesting part of her book is when she addresses the people and places that are using current cutting-edge technology to save ecosystems and reverse global warming. One such example is on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, one of the most diverse and prolific ecosystems on earth, which is under dire threat from oceanic warming and acidification. Faced with the real possibility of extinction of the reef in just decades, scientists are turning to genetic modification of Corals to make them more resistant to these fast-changing conditions. Since 2012 a new gene editing technology called CRISPR-Cas has become ubiquitous. In fact, so ubiquitous that you can buy your own “genetic engineering home lab kit” from a company in California called Odin for $1800. Kolbert buys her own kit and is able to engineer a colony of E. coli bacteria into a strain that is resistant to streptomycin antibiotic. She then inserts a jellyfish gene into yeast which then glows in the dark. Sound dangerous? Yes, what could possibly go wrong, but this is also the technology to develop new global warming resistant corals or destroy malaria carrying mosquitos, control rapacious rodents on Pacific Islands or control a plague of Cane Toads in Australia, not to mention breakthrough medical benefits. We have so altered natural systems with invasive species, with climatological chaos that the only solution is further intervention. She quotes a scientist at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory: “What people are not seeing is that this is already a genetically altered environment. Invasive species alter the environment by adding entire genomes that don’t belong. By contrast Genetic engineers, by contrast, alter just a few bits of DNA here and there”. “The classic thing people say with molecular biology is: Are you playing God? Well no. We are using our understanding of biological processes to see if we can benefit a system that is in trauma”. Do you feel guilty about all the carbon you are emitting into the atmosphere when you drive around in your SUV or eat a filet mignon? Now there is a way to assuage your guilt. There is a now a company called Climeworks that will do just that for the price of $1000 per ton of sequestered CO2. Being that each American emits about 20 tons per year following the American way of life and to totally assuage your guilt will cost you a cool $20,000 per year. Do you feel that guilty? Kolbert purchases one ton of sequestration and then visits the place where the deed is done which turns out to be at a geothermal power plant in Iceland. There they inject CO2 into the hot molten basalt at the bottom of their well to form limestone. This is a way the earth has been doing this process for millions of years without payment. In fact, it is the very process that transpired when the Himalayas were pushed up by the Indian subcontinent million of years ago, sequestered billions of tons of carbon into limestone and enabled the ice ages to begin 3 million years ago. Is this process a feasible solution to our current crisis? According to the latest UN climate report at this point, some form of sequestration is almost certainly required to avoid a catastrophic global temperature rise above 2 degrees regardless of what green technologies are introduced. Almost certainly the cost of that sequestration will have to be drastically reduced. Is there another way to approach the problem? Here Kolbert interviews scientists who are studying a process called solar geoengineering which involves shooting reflective compounds or crystals into the stratosphere to reflect sun light and reduce the earths albedo or heat absorption. This the same process that occurs when large volcanic explosions expel billions of tons of dust and S02 that block incoming sunlight and cool the planet. Last time a truly global volcanic eruption occurred was Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 and caused catastrophic cooling causing mass famine in various places around the world. Is this a feasible solution? Maybe, certainly not to the extent of Tambora and one side effect might be changing the sky from blue to white and hence the title of the book. Sunsets might be improved however. This a short book and quick read and one gets the sense that it was somewhat truncated because of the pandemic restricting travel. However, there is still a lot of interesting information about the future fate of our planet and what can be done to ameliorate the damage that we have inflicted. JACK

Informative studies of how scientists are trying to address environmental issues today
Format: Paperback
In this book Kolbert travels to visit scientists attempting to address the environmental changes that humans are creating on the planet. The chapters focus on different issues, such as invasive species, and species loss, and includes field site visits, and also references for more reading. If you read this, and Sixth Extinction, and Field Notes From a Catastrophe, you will get a great oversight of some of the environmental issues that we face, although not any neat solutions. All the case studies build up into a wider understanding.

disappointing
Format: Hardcover
I was excited to read "Under a White Sky". Unfortunately, it seems that the author just sort of stopped writing when COVID hit. See page 197, where author laments the arrival of COVID. FOur pages later, book ends. The author even says on page 197: "Here I was, trying to finish a book about the world spinning out of control, only to find the world spinning so far out of control that I couldn't finish the book". Couldn't finish the book, but COULD publish it and sell it to people like me. The early chapters are interesting, each one covering a different topic related to man messing with nature. Good stuff. But I expect some analysis, some conclusion, something to sum it all up. It just isn't there. Topic and early chapters showed great promise. But the ending is truly lacking. And as the author alludes, unfinished.
