Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Swiss cheese plant, is a tropical vine native to Central America. It is recognized for its large, glossy leaves that develop unique holes and splits as they mature, which help the plant adapt to its natural environment by allowing light to filter through. This popular houseplant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. Monstera deliciosa can grow quite large, reaching heights of up to 10 feet indoors, and is often cultivated for its striking foliage and air-purifying qualities.
