Monstera Deliciosa

Botanical Name: Philodendron Monstera deliciosa

Common Name(s): Split-Leaf Philodendron, Swiss Cheese Plant

The Monstera Deliciosa is a tropical plant known for its large, deeply lobed leaves that give it an exotic, sculptural look. Native to South America, this plant can grow impressively large, reaching up to 6 feet in height and width indoors when given adequate space. Its lush, glossy green leaves develop natural splits as the plant matures, which help it withstand windy conditions in the wild and create a dramatic visual effect in the home.

Swiss Cheese Plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions, though with slower growth. They prefer well-draining, moist soil, and it’s best to allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. High humidity enhances its growth, though it can adapt to average indoor humidity levels.

Air Purifying Qualities: The Monstera Deliciosa is known to help purify indoor air by absorbing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene, releasing fresh oxygen in return. This plant is a great choice for improving air quality, especially in larger spaces due to its significant leaf surface area.

Note: The Monstera Deliciosa is toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and digestive discomfort. Keep it out of reach of pets and children for safety.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Support and Growth Pattern: As a climbing plant, it benefits from a moss pole or trellis, which will allow the plant to produce larger leaves with more pronounced fenestrations.
  2. Fertilizing Details: Use a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks in spring and summer. Avoid fertilizing in winter when growth slows. Too much fertilizer can lead to salt buildup, so flush the soil every few months.
  3. Pruning Techniques: Trim any yellow, damaged, or overly long vines to encourage a bushier shape. Clean pruning shears with rubbing alcohol before and after pruning to prevent disease spread.
  4. Pest Management: Regularly inspect for pests like spider mites, scale, and mealybugs, which are attracted to the large leaves. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth once a month and treat any infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Spider mites, in particular, thrive in dry environments, so keeping humidity high can prevent them.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee. Refunds will be processed to the card or account used for your purchase and will typically be available in your bank in 3-5 business days from the date it was issued.

Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping. If weather conditions are extreme (e.g., storm or severe winter), we will inform you of an updated delivery date that we believe is more appropriate.

How can I change my order details?

To update your order details, please contact us within 24 hours of placing your order. We care about all our customers and will like to ship the correct item to the right location. We are not held responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses. In addition, we cannot cancel orders that has already been shipped.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Items apart of the same order typically ship together. In rare circumstances, the items may ship from both our Southern California and Florida greenhouses and could arrive in separate packages at different times. For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
