Fruit Salad Plant (Monstera deliciosa)
Fruit salad plant (Monstera deliciosa)
The fruit salad plant is an enduring houseplant hero. When mature, its distinct , dark-green "Swiss cheese" leaf form creates a focal point for any interior. It can grow quite large or remain smaller when confined and its easy-care nature makes it a great plant for beginners. Monstera are perfect on shelves when small, but when mature, they make perfect floor plants in living spaces.
