Monstera deliciosa is known for its large, glossy green leaves that develop unique fenestrations (holes and splits) as the plant matures.

Here are some key features and care tips for Monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant:

1. Leaves: Large, heart-shaped leaves with holes and splits, giving them a distinctive appearance. The fenestrations increase as the plant grows older.

2. Growth Habit: Monstera deliciosa is a climbing or trailing plant. Indoors, it is often grown as a houseplant and can be supported by a moss pole or allowed to cascade from a hanging basket.

3. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, optimal growth and fenestration occur in brighter light. Protect it from direct sunlight, as too much sun can scorch the leaves.

4. Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It is sensitive to cold temperatures, so avoid exposure to drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

5. Watering: Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out between waterings. Monstera deliciosa prefers slightly moist soil but can tolerate short periods of drought.

6. Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity levels, but it can adapt to average indoor humidity. Misting the leaves or placing a tray of water nearby can help maintain moisture.

7. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix formulated for aroids or tropical plants is suitable.

8. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter.

9. Pruning: Prune to control size and shape. Remove yellow or damaged leaves, and trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

10. Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings. Cut a stem with a node and aerial root, and plant it in a suitable potting mix. Including a portion of the stem helps encourage root development.

Monstera deliciosa is a resilient and visually striking plant that has become a popular choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. With proper care, it can thrive and bring a touch of tropical elegance to indoor spaces.
