Description
The Monstera is a popular houseplant known for its striking, decorative leaves. The most common species grown as a houseplant is the Monstera deliciosa, also known as the "Swiss Cheese Plant" or "Monkey Plant". A monstera moss pole is a useful tool to support climbing plants and promote their growth while being aesthetically pleasing. It helps to create a more lush and healthy plant. What makes it truly unique are its leaves - deeply cut, with large holes like works of nature's art.
Monsteras do best in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight as it can burn the leaves. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Watering needs will vary depending on the conditions in your home and the season. In the summer, the plant will generally need more water than in the winter.
Monstera is known to be moderately toxic to pets and children if ingested. The plant contains oxalate crystals, which can cause stomach irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested.
