Looking for something a little wild and wonderful? The Monstera adansonii, often called the Swiss Cheese Plant thanks to its striking hole-filled leaves, brings a little jungle magic into any space. Its trailing emerald-green foliage spills beautifully from a hanging pot, creating an effortless, tropical vibe.

Size
W17cm x H50cm (including the trailing foliage). Supplied in a plastic nursery pot.

Native Habitat and Growth Patterns
Native to the humid rainforests of Central and South America, the Monstera adansonii thrives in dappled light beneath the forest canopy. It’s a natural climber, scrambling up trees in the wild, but indoors it’s just as happy trailing down from a shelf or hanging basket. This version is perfect if you're after a lush, trailing effect without the need for a moss pole.

Styling at Home
This plant is a brilliant choice for kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere that gets bright, indirect light. Let it cascade from a high shelf or pop it in a hanging planter near a window – it adds instant texture and a bit of botanical drama. It’s the kind of plant that looks like you’ve made loads of effort (even when you haven’t).

Care Requirements
Monstera adansonii is easy-going and beginner-friendly. Think rainforest conditions – bright but indirect light, warmth, and a bit of humidity. A steamy bathroom or warm living room suits it well. Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry, and make sure it never sits in water. A little underwatering is better than too much love!

Top Tip
Avoid killing it with kindness. Most issues arise from overwatering – let the soil dry out between waterings, and it will reward you with lush growth.

Why Choose This Plant
This is one of those houseplants that always gets compliments. Its unusual leaves give it a unique look, and the trailing growth habit is perfect for styling small spaces without sacrificing greenery. It also makes a brilliant gift – and we’ll include a free handwritten card if you’re sending it as a present. No paperwork or prices, just a beautiful surprise.

Interesting Facts

  • The holes in the leaves are called fenestrations and help the plant survive in the wild by letting light through to the lower leaves.

  • It's often mistaken for the larger Monstera deliciosa, but adansonii has more delicate, trailing stems and smaller, thinner leaves.

  • You can also train it to climb if you prefer a vertical look – it’s a flexible, fun plant to grow.

FAQs

Is it pet safe?
No – Monstera adansonii is toxic to pets if ingested, so best kept out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

How often should I feed it?
Once a month in spring and summer is ideal. We recommend our Organic Vegan Plant Food – it’s made exclusively for us and packed with everything your plant needs to thrive.

Can I put it outside?
Only in summer and only if it’s warm, sheltered, and shady. This is a jungle plant, not a fan of cold drafts or harsh sun.

Is this plant easy to look after?
Yes – it’s one of the easiest trailing houseplants out there and very forgiving if you forget to water now and then.

Love it but it stains
Color: Haze Blue, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
I love these but had to knock some stars down for a single reason. They are soft, the material is somehow both substantial and airy at the same time, and a smooth, silky (not satin), cozy texture. The color was exactly as pictured. The envelope style works great to keep my pillows covered. The fabric lays perfectly. I love sleeping on this pillow case. Took two stars off because every single atom of oil on my face stained it immediately and won't come out in the wash. Its not subtle. You can see anywhere my face has been, forever. I don't have some incredibly oily face or hair, I've never had this happen to another pillow case in my life.

Silky and Soothing
Color: Cream, Size: 2 Pack Queen(20"X 30")
I thought I was getting 1 of the queen sized but I got 2. I got these for my Pomeranian's fuzzy pillow. He's always hot and these are very cooling and very good quality. He loves them and are very comfortable for him. They totally transformed his shaggy old pillow. I used the larger body pillow covers to replace the covers I had. They matched my bedspread perfectly. I use 2 body pillows along the exterior wall in my bedroom where there is cold coming through the floor in the winter. I'm sure I will enjoy them in the summer when it's hot too!

super smooth, silky, stays comfortable feeling. DO NOT DRY or wash with heat
Color: Blue, Size: Queen (U.S. Standard), Set name: Stretchy and Soft, Color: Blue, Size: Queen (U.S. Standard), Set name: Stretchy and Soft
I'm impressed. I have used cooling pillow cases before, and found them effective, but the cooling material have always been on just one side. These are 100% cooling material. The material is super smooth and silky feeling. It is great feeling against hair and skin (even better than my old polyester satin I was using before cooling pillowcases). The material is cool, and does not seem to get hot hot. The pillow cases are super stretchy with a small hidden zipper. They grab onto the pillow and dont loosen up. Makes my pillow look neat and clean, not sloppy from loose material. I can even have two pillows stacked and somehow despite being a smooth material, the pillows dont just slide off each other. The cooling aspect works by not trapping heat, not allowing heat to get to the pillow and hold it there. So yeh, the pillow case will feel warm eventually but if you have a fan, or AC, or flip the pillow, then it is is truly cool. Otherwise in my experience when I use a pillow without this, the pillow just gets hot, stays hot, and even with flipping it feels hot.. because the pillow itself has trapped the heat for remainder of night. Yuck. One thing to know and this is very important-- as I learned the hard way-- DO NOT DRY IN DRYER. DO NOT WASH IN HOT WATER. Heat will destroy the material ability to feel and stay cool. Do you want a regular heat trapping pillow case? Then go ahead and dry these in the dryer a few times and you will have a regular pillow case. HOw do I know? I bought these to replace another set (different brand, same idea, same instructions that I failed to remember). I always dried them in the dryer, and one night after having gloriously cool pillows, I noticed that my pillow was HOT night after night. It was then when looking for another set of pillow cases that I learned that they cant be exposed to heat like that. SO PLEASE, just AIR DRY. And so, after I got these and put them on my pillows, I had a much better nights rest. I remember thinking that I wasnt waking to rearrange my pillows. They were just comfortable all night long. Sure, I'd love an even colder pillow, but our room is on the warm side. But at least I wasnt noting the hot hot pillows anymore.
