Costa Farms Swiss Monstera

No, this plant is not pet-friendly. It is best kept out of reach of cats and dogs, perhaps on a high shelf or a hanging planter where curious pets cannot access it.

The included pot features a reservoir system that allows the plant to draw up moisture as needed. This helps maintain the consistent soil moisture this variety craves, making it much easier to keep the plant hydrated without constant monitoring.

This Monstera prefers medium, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, it will grow faster and produce more of its signature leaf perforations if placed near a bright window that doesn't receive harsh, direct sun.

The Little Swiss Monstera is a compact variety, but it is a vining plant. With proper care, it will produce long, trailing vines that look excellent cascading off a bookshelf or tabletop, though it won't grow into a massive floor plant like its larger cousins.

Yes, it is an excellent starter plant. It is relatively forgiving, and the included self-watering pot takes the guesswork out of the most common challenge for beginners: knowing when to water.
