About Monstera adansonii

Name: Monstera adansonii
Common Name: Swiss Cheese Plant, Adanson's Monsteria, Monkey Mask Plant

Monstera adansonii, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant or Adanson's Monstera, is a popular and attractive houseplant renowned for its unique foliage and easy care. This species belongs to the Araceae family and is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, including countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

Monstera adansonii is characterized by its distinctive heart-shaped leaves, which develop unique fenestrations (holes) as they mature, giving the plant its "Swiss cheese" appearance. The leaves are typically deep green, glossy, and can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length. The plant has a vining or climbing growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets, trellises, or as a trailing plant in a pot.

In its natural habitat, Monstera adansonii grows as an epiphyte, meaning it climbs trees and other structures to reach light. As a houseplant, it can be grown in a container or as a climbing vine with proper support.

Cultivation & Care Guide

Cultivation of Monstera adansonii

Conditions:

  1. Light: Monstera adansonii thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not develop as many fenestrations. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  2. Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10-12. It should be kept in temperatures between 18-27 °C (65-80 °F) and protected from cold drafts or temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F).
  3. Soil: Monstera adansonii prefers a well-draining, organic potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well to provide adequate drainage and aeration.
  4. Water: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure that the soil is well-drained and allow excess water to escape through the drainage holes.

Planting and Care:

  1. Planting: Plant Monstera adansonii in a container with good drainage. Use a rich, well-draining potting mix, and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
  2. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, liquid fertilizer every 1-2 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when the plant’s growth slows.
  3. Maintenance: Monstera adansonii is relatively low-maintenance. Regularly dust the leaves to keep them clean and allow the plant to photosynthesize efficiently. Prune any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain a healthy appearance.

Growing from Cuttings

  1. Cutting Preparation: Take a cutting from a healthy plant with at least one node (the area where leaves and roots grow) and a few leaves. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to make the cut.
  2. Propagation: Place the cutting in a glass of water or directly into a pot with a well-draining potting mix. If using water, change the water every few days and wait for roots to form before transplanting.
  3. Germination Conditions: Place the cutting in a warm, bright location but out of direct sunlight. Rooting can take several weeks to a couple of months.
  4. Care for New Plants: Once the cutting has developed a sufficient root system, transplant it into a pot with well-draining soil. Continue to care for it as you would a mature Monstera adansonii, providing bright, indirect light and regular watering.

Monstera adansonii is a stylish and resilient plant that adds a touch of tropical flair to any indoor space. Its distinctive foliage and adaptable nature make it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts.

great for kids with dry skin!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
This ointment has been a great find for sensitive baby skin. We started using it for dry patches and mild eczema, and it made a noticeable difference within a few days. The texture is rich and soothing without feeling overly greasy, and it absorbs well enough that it doesn’t leave everything sticky. I really appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and made without steroids—perfect for everyday use, especially on delicate skin. We’ve used it on everything from dry cheeks to minor irritation, and it’s been consistently gentle and effective. The 2-pack is a nice bonus since we keep one at home and one in the diaper bag. A little goes a long way, so the jars last longer than expected. The only downside is the price—it’s a bit more expensive than some alternatives—but for the quality and peace of mind, it feels worth it. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this for parents looking for a reliable, gentle solution for dry or sensitive skin.

Only thing that worked! So thankful!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 8 Ounce
I can’t believe I’m going to do this, but I’m writing a review and a long one at that! My baby began having skin issues around 5weeks old. Which I believe was from washing her with Honest baby soap(but I believe any soap would have been a problem)- up until then I had only used a wash cloth and water. But that week I washed her twice with the soap and that weekend my son had back to back soccer games it was 90degeee weather and my baby got sweaty. Then after that her skin just seemed to have problem after problem! I didn’t know if it was heat rash, eczema, or baby acne or combination? So no more soap and returned to water and started putting breastmilk and tallow on her which really helped with the redness. but her skin still felt like sand paper and would easily get inflamed if warm or sweaty. Around 8weeks of age she started getting cradle cap behind and on her ears and her eyebrows, then mildly on her head ugh. And she was VERY itchy and would be itching her head all night. So I ordered MuStella shampoo and the Frida cradle cap scrubby and brush set. After 2-3 days my babies head had red bumps, very inflamed and still very itchy. It said to wash everyday and remove the scales but I just couldn’t keep doing that. I would slather tallow on my babies head after washing and I returned to just rinsing with water as that seemed to help. I would also gently use the comb because her hair would be crazy after applying cream to scalp. This also helped to further distribute the cream and clean out some dry flakes from scalp- no need to scrub with that scrubber. But she was still itchy. So that’s when I decided to add the colloidal oatmeal for the sleepless nights itching- which this has 1% as an active ingredient. The price was definitely not appealing but I got it. After 1 day of using this it was like my babies skin was completely transformed!!! Even her sandpaper feeling face got clear and smooth feeling again! All day I was just so thankful and happy to have my babies smooth skin back after weeks of battling skin problem after skin problem. I really think it had to do with the soap in the first place, maybe effected natural skin barrier. Which if you research skin ph and barrier a lot of things will do that. What really washes dirt away is rubbing and water. I could kick myself for even using the the soap on my babies precious skin. So what worked for us was not using soaps and just washing with water, slather on tallow WHILE SKIN IS STILL WET, this locks in the moister. Water is moisture and all lotion and creams do are lock in the moisture so you want your skin wet before applying creams. Creams help slow down transepidermal water loss. Which is another reason to protect your skin barrier as it has ability to retain moisture better. So we washed with water, applied whipped tallow while still wet and this colloidal oatmeal ointment on top of that. I can hardly believe the overnight difference! I almost never ever write a review but just really wanted to share our story if it may help others. I usually do not buy expensive products like this, but I’m glad I tried- it worked AMAZINGLY for my baby- she is so much more comfortable!!! I’m so thankful!

Great for Dry Skin, Works Fast!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
10/10 would recommend. This is heavy duty lotion, cream, but it works for my baby in 1-2 uses if he has dry skin or a rash. It is worth the cost in my opinion, only want to put on a small amount at a time anyway it is very thick and a little goes a very long way.

It’s expensive for a reason, this stuff works! Even better than the steroids
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
It’s expensive for a reason! This stuff works, my 4 mo old has been struggling with eczema for 2 months now and we have been to the ER twice due to infections, I’ve taken everything out of my diet since he’s breastfeeding, we’ve tried every other cream and routine out there. Up until just a few days ago when we ordered Tubby Todd’s his cheeks were constantly raw and weeping. After just 3 days of use with Tubby Todd’s he is finally getting some reprieve and we are finally getting SLEEP (before we would have to hold his hands down manually all night so he wouldn’t itch himself raw) this cream is even better than the steroids, you won’t regret purchasing even at the high price point.

A solid option for managing eczema flare-ups.
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 8 Ounce
Tubby Todd Eczema Ointment is a thick, soothing balm that really helps calm irritated skin. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and doesn’t have a strong scent. The texture is a bit heavy, so it takes a little work to rub in, but it stays on well and gives noticeable relief.
