Looking to take your kitchen, living room, or home office and turn it into your own little piece of paradise? There's no better way to do so than by adding a Swiss Cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa) or two...or maybe a few more!

Swiss Cheese is native to the South American Rainforests but has become a houseplant sensation due to its unique leaves and its attractive height.

As the name implies, Swiss Cheese's leaves grow into slits as they mature. They'll end up looking like someone took scissors and cut segments out of the sides of each leaf and sometimes it'll even have an entirely closed hole in the middle!

These plants rarely bloom when outside of their natural tropical habitats. However, you won't notice as the intricate and glossy leaves are a stunning luscious green that catches all eyes in the room!

Swiss Cheese is very easy to care for and with just a few moments of attention every so often, it will flourish! Seeing as these plants are native to rainforests, it makes sense that they'll appreciate living in a humid environment.

Direct sunlight can damage the leaves of this plant. It'll grow just fine in a bright spot in any indoor room of yours!

Swiss Cheese is the type of plant that doesn't mind infrequent watering. In fact, it thrives when you allow its soil to dry out a bit before watering again. Try sticking your finger up to your second knuckle into the soil. Is it dry? Go ahead and water! If it's still a bit moist let your plant be for another day.

After a few years, it might be a good idea to prune back to the shape you'd like it to be. This can be done by cutting back as many leaves as you'd like at the nodes during spring!

Deciding where to put this gorgeous houseplant can be a bit hard, you'll want to put it everywhere! Swiss Cheese looks fantastic in the corner of living rooms, offices, or hallways, just to name a few!

Spice up your homes with a touch of tropics with the Swiss Cheese plant. You'll be so delighted with the quality! Order today!
