The Iconic Tropical Statement Plant with Dramatic Split Leaves

Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Split-Leaf Philodendron, is one of the most recognizable and beloved houseplants in the world. Its large, glossy green leaves develop dramatic natural splits—called fenestrations—creating a bold, sculptural look that instantly transforms any interior space.

Often nicknamed the “Swiss Cheese Plant,” this name more accurately applies to Monstera adansonii, which has smaller leaves with oval holes. Monstera deliciosa, however, is prized for its oversized foliage and architectural presence.

Low Maintenance, High Impact

This fast-growing tropical plant thrives with minimal care, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced collectors. With proper light and watering, Monstera deliciosa produces increasingly large, deeply split leaves that create a lush, jungle-inspired focal point.

Plant Profile

  • Botanical Name: Monstera deliciosa
  • Pronunciation: mon-STER-ah de-lis-ee-OH-sah
  • Common Names: Monstera, Split-Leaf Philodendron
  • Native Range: Tropical rainforests of Mexico and Panama
  • Growth Habit: Climbing aroid; benefits from a moss pole or support

Ed’s Care Guide

Care Level: Easy

Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Tolerates lower light but may produce fewer splits.

Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid consistently soggy soil.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.

Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C)

Feeding: Fertilize every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer for vigorous growth.

Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and trim leggy growth to maintain shape.

Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings with a node.

Common Pests: Spider mites and root rot from overwatering.

Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

Why Monstera Leaves Split

The iconic splits and holes are believed to help light pass through the canopy and allow strong tropical winds to move through the plant without damaging large leaves. This functional adaptation is what gives Monstera deliciosa its unmistakable tropical charm.

A Tropical Classic for Modern Spaces

Whether styled as a tabletop accent or trained into a dramatic floor plant, Monstera deliciosa adds instant character to living rooms, bedrooms, and office spaces. Its bold foliage and easy-care nature make it a timeless favorite for creating a lush indoor jungle.

This is my favorite moisturizer. I’ve bought so many others and paid a fortune but this is the best! It hydrates and doesn’t clog my pores.

new fav
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
i’m always really skeptical of trying new face washes but I do love this brand and I’ve been using their lotions forever. It’s the only thing that keeps me hydrated so I thought I would give this a try I do have pretty dry skin so if I use that product alone with no moisturizer, of course I’m going to be dry, but with this wash and their lotion that I use, my skin is hydrated, I am not breaking out. This is definitely become a favorite for me, I do wear a little bit of makeup, but I haven’t tested if the wash itself takes off all the makeup I use their micellar water and then I use the cleanser and that works great!! even with that double cleanse as long as I’m using that lotion, my skin is not dry at all. I have noticed my makeup goes on smoother and I’m hydrated through these winter months. the gel texture is different, but it feels nice on the skin for me It doesn’t feel like you have to keep washing to get it off. A little goes a long way and I wouldn’t really say there is a scent to it but it’s just a very clean smell

The best face wash for extremely dry face!
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best facial cleanser for very dry face. I use tretinoin and have very dry peeling face at times, that can be unbearable. I've tried nearly every brand of face wash and type. This is the best!!!! It leaves my face silky smooth, helps get all the dead skin off and lessens to eliminates my itch. I mean it when I say it's wonderful!
