Monstera adansonii

Also known as Monstera Swiss Cheese or Monkey Mask, Monstera adansonii rarely goes unnoticed thanks to its large heart-shaped leaves that develop holes as the plant ages (in a process called fenestration). It will look great in a hanging basket or on used as a climber. Monstera adansonii likes its soil to never dry out completely, but it is sensitive to excess water. It is therefore necessary to dose it adequately. Leaves that turn brown or yellow may indicate a problem with watering. The Monstera adansonii is a fast growing plant and its size is easily controlled by pruning. In its natural habitat, this plant grows in a humid environment, under larger plants, so it will not like to be exposed to direct sunlight, which could burn its leaves.

Monstera deliciosa has larger leaves that also have fenestrations, but its leaves are also cut, which is not the case for Monstera adansonii.
