Monstera Adansonii Monkey Mask 30 cm Hanging

Monstera Adansonii this unique houseplant featuring glossy green tropical foliage with oblong holes that give it the nickname, Swiss Cheese Vine. Monstera Adansonii is fast-growing and prefers to climb, so be ready to provide some support for it.

Monstera Adansonii is easy to care for so long as it has moist, warm conditions. The plant has a vining habit and often grows entwined in and around itself, with new leaves and vines sometimes growing through the holes in existing leaves. This can lead to leaves tearing which gives the plant a shabby chic rather that pristine appeal.

Light: Monstera grow best in bright, indirect light, but are hardy enough to tolerate moderate shade. Avoid direct sunlight however, as this may burn or bleach the leaves.

Watering: Water when the soil of your Monkey Mask has started to dry-out. Be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot.

Humidity: This plant will do best in average to high humidity levels. Cannot cope in dry air situations so mist occasionally for best results

Temperature: Monstera like warm conditions from 18-27°C. Lower temperatures will reduce the plant's growth rate. It will tolerate 12°C and above but avoid cold draughts.

Toxicity: The leaves of the Monkey Mask are poisonous so be sure to keep away from pets and children. Do not consume.

Origin: Monstera adansonii is native to Mexico and Central America.
