Monstera Deliciosa Moss Stick, 1.2-1.4M

The Monstera is a popular tropical plant known for its unique, large, and perforated leaves. It belongs to the Araceae family and is native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. The most common species, Monstera deliciosa, is sometimes called the "Swiss cheese plant" because of the distinctive holes in its leaves.

Key Features of Monstera deliciosa:
Leaves: The leaves of Monstera deliciosa are large, glossy, heart-shaped, and have distinctive perforations or "holes." These holes, or fenestrations, typically develop as the plant matures. Younger leaves are solid but become more intricate as the plant grows.
Growth Habit: This plant is a vining species that can climb or trail. In its natural habitat, it can grow as high as 60 feet, using aerial roots to cling to trees or other surfaces. As a houseplant, it typically reaches 6–10 feet tall, depending on the pot size and care.
Flowers and Fruit: When mature and in ideal conditions, Monstera deliciosa can produce a flower that looks like a spadix (similar to a calla lily). The fruit, which resembles a green, scaly cone, is edible but must ripen fully before being consumed.
Toxicity: While Monstera deliciosa is not highly toxic to humans, it contains compounds called calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested, especially in pets.
Propagation: Monstera deliciosa is commonly propagated via stem cuttings. Place the cuttings in water or soil, and they will develop roots, allowing you to grow new plants.
Growing Requirements:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate low light. However, it will grow more slowly in lower light.
Water: It prefers moderate watering, letting the soil dry out between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can cause root rot.
Humidity: As a tropical plant, Monstera deliciosa appreciates humidity, so misting or placing it in a room with higher humidity (like a bathroom) can promote healthy growth.
Soil: It prefers a well-draining potting mix, typically with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration.
Monstera deliciosa is a hardy and forgiving plant, making it a popular choice for indoor spaces due to its striking appearance and ease of care. Its dramatic, fenestrated leaves can create a lush, tropical atmosphere.
