American Plant Exchange Monstera Deliciosa

This plant prefers bright to medium indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners, which may stunt its growth and prevent the signature leaf perforations from developing.

Indoors, the Monstera Deliciosa can grow quite large, reaching heights of 10 to 15 feet and spreading up to 8 feet wide. You should plan for a significant amount of space as the plant matures.

It is considered a low-maintenance plant, making it a great choice for beginners. To help you succeed, your purchase includes access to a companion app that provides ongoing care tips and community support.

While the plant can produce edible fruits known as cerimans in ideal conditions, this is rare for indoor plants. If it does fruit, the flavor is often described as a tropical blend of banana, pineapple, and mango.

Your Monstera Deliciosa will arrive in a 6-inch nursery pot. It is recommended to keep it in this pot until it shows signs of being root-bound before moving it to a slightly larger container.
