Swiss Cheese plant (Monstera Deliciosa)
Sun. The Swiss Cheese Plant enjoys a combination of bright, indirect light and shade. In its natural habitat, it climbs up trees and therefore spends a lot of time sheltered from direct sunlight by the overhead canopy of the trees’ foliage. However, it also benefits from some indirect bright light shining through the leaves above, so it’s a good idea to try to recreate this environment as much as is possible within a home by placing the plant in a position where it will get a good amount of both filtered light and shade.
Water. The Swiss Cheese Plant should be watered moderately, with the top few inches of soil being allowed to dry out before watering again. Like most plants, the Swiss Cheese Plant is susceptible to root rot, so avoid letting the plant sit in water or having its soil become saturated with water.
Other ways to keep me happy: If you are comfortable in your home, then your Swiss Cheese Plant will be too. For optimum health, the plant should be in a temperature range of 65º F to 80º F, which is typically where most homes sit. If your Swiss Cheese Plant is subjected to temperatures lowers than 65º F, it will remain in good health but will grow at a slower rate. In temperatures any lower than 50º F, the plant will stop growing completely. For this reason, to maintain a thriving Swiss Cheese Plant, try to keep your home temperature comfortable as much as possible.
