Characteristics
The Monstera adansonii, or Swiss Cheese Plant, is a tropical evergreen known for its fenestration-filled, heart-shaped leaves. This species makes a lovely hanging plant, but is most loved for being a fast-growing, robust climber with vines that can reach over 8 feet!
How to Care for Monstera adansonii
- Light: Thrives in bright indirect or filtered light. Direct sun may scorch its leaves if not given time to slowly acclimate.
- Water Preferences: Keep soil evenly moist and ensure the plant has proper drainage. Allow soil to dry slightly during the winter months. This plant is somewhat drought tolerant, but should not be left unwatered for long periods of time.
- Special Care/Notes: This plant wants to climb! Providing a stake and a regular well-balanced fertilizer will allow this plant to grow strong and beautiful.
"No matter what I am at Bath for, there are always helpful employees to help me find what I need or tips on how to care for indoor or outdoor plants. They also carry pots, trellises, soil, and interesting plants of all kinds! I was also pleasantly surprised to find compost worms available for purchase without a special preorder. Thank you for being awesome!"

"I brought my girls here to have a homeschool lesson about botany for their science study! We had one of their employees, Evan, walk us around the center and take us into the greenhouses. I felt like he went above and beyond to help my girls with what they need to know and it was great! My kids had a great time and he knew what he was talking about. Thanks again Evan!"
