Monstera Deliciosa with Lisbon basket black - 50cm - Ø17

The Monstera deliciosa is a beautiful green houseplant! With its large, green, heart-shaped leaves with slits, it is a real eye-catcher. Because of these gaps it is also called 'hole plant'. In the tropical regions of South America, Monsteras climb and crawl around. Thanks to aerial roots, the plant attaches itself to trees and can climb up to 20 meters high! To ensure that even the lower leaves still receive light, the plant develops crevices. Therefore, the smallest leaves of this houseplant may not yet have any splits.

The name 'Monstera' means 'strange' in Latin. 'Deliciosa' is derived from the delicious fruits that the plant bears in nature. These fruits seem to be very tasty, or 'delicious'!

Originally from the jungles of South America, the Monstera thrives in moist and shady environments. Due to the size and strength of the leaves, they are occasionally used as packaging material. Locals in South America sometimes wrap fish in Monstera leaves. However, we prefer to let it shine on the windowsill!
