About Monstera deliciosa
Monstera deliciosa is the house plant for drawing attention and purifying the air. Available in sizes from tidy desk to floor-to-ceiling wonders, it's no wonder the Monstera is our most popular house plant year after year.
It's great for starter house plant owners who aren't sure of how to care for them - all you need to do is give it water when it's dry and you're good to go. They hail from tropical forests in Central America, so they're used to making the most of any water and space they can get and growing quickly when they can.
Choose a moss pole for trained and maintained height, or go free form for a Monstera that's as individual as you are.
Whichever you choose, that moment the leaves pop out of the box is one to remember!
