Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf'

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' is a green Swiss cheese vine with slim climbing stems, naturally perforated leaves and quick indoor vine extension. The leaves are usually oval to softly heart-shaped, with irregular holes that form while the plant is still young. As the vine extends, each node can produce aerial roots, so the plant can climb, trail or be cut back and rooted from stem sections.

With fully green leaves, this plant usually extends quickly from its nodes and produces leaves regularly. It fills a pot well, climbs when given a pole or plank, and can be shaped into a climbing plant or a softer hanging vine depending on how the stems are guided.

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' key features

  • Growth: Fast vining aroid with flexible stems, visible nodes and aerial roots.
  • Leaves: Green Swiss cheese foliage with natural oval fenestrations.
  • Shape: Can climb on a pole or trail from a shelf, hanger or high planter.
  • Pruning: Long stems can be shortened above a node and rooted as cuttings.

Green Swiss cheese vine growth and habitat

Monstera adansonii Schott belongs to Araceae and is native across tropical America, where it grows in warm, wet forest habitats. Its climbing habit, aerial roots and relatively thin leaf blades suit filtered light, steady warmth and a root zone that stays moist but aerated.

The leaf holes are normal fenestrations, not pest damage. Their size and placement vary with maturity, support, light, nutrition and root health. A supported vine often develops larger, more closely spaced leaves than a long unsupported stem, especially once the aerial roots can press against a textured surface.

Care for the green Monstera adansonii vine

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light. Gentle morning or late afternoon sun can work after acclimation, but hot midday sun can scorch the thinner leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the upper half of the pot has dried. Even moisture reduces drooping and crisping while air still moves through the root zone.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco fibre, perlite, pumice or similar mineral structure.
  • Temperature: Keep around 18–27 °C. Cold windowsills and wet winter substrate can quickly damage roots.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated, while 50–70% helps new leaves expand smoothly.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank or trellis for larger leaves and a more vertical plant.
  • Feeding: Feed after pruning or during fast vine extension so new nodes have fresh nutrients; ease off when growth slows.
  • Propagation: Use stem cuttings with at least one node. A leaf alone cannot restart the vine.
  • Repotting: Move up when the pot dries quickly because roots have filled it, and refresh tired mix around the fast-running stems.

Common Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' problems

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the pot is staying wet too long, especially in cool conditions. Let more of the mix dry and improve aeration if needed.
  • Long bare gaps: The vine may need brighter indirect light or a support. Stretching usually shows between the nodes first.
  • Crispy edges: Review watering gaps, dry indoor air, fertiliser build-up and direct sun exposure.
  • Dark soft patches: Inspect roots if the substrate smells sour or remains wet for many days. Cold, wet roots are a common cause.
  • Marked new leaves: Check fresh growth, nodes and leaf undersides for thrips, mites, scale or mealybugs.

Pet and child safety

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' should not be chewed by pets or children. Its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and digestive tract. Keep cut stems and fallen leaves out of reach, and wash hands after heavy pruning.

Botanical name and meaning

Monstera adansonii Schott is an accepted species in Araceae and was first published in 1830. The genus name Monstera is linked with unusual leaf forms in the group, while adansonii honours French botanist Michel Adanson.

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' stays close to the classic green Swiss cheese vine: fast nodes, natural leaf holes and stems that can climb or trail.

It feels cheap and works just okay
This product just feels like it was made on the bottom dollar. It is very cheaply made and the doors to the battery compartment are so fragile it feels like they may snap next time I have to change the batteries. There's absolutely no weather proofing so I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain or heat. That being said, it's fine. It stays put on our umbrella and puts out light, albeit not much light.

Functional and easy to install!
Color: Cool White
This umbrella light is super handy! It hinges open to allow installation around the umbrella pole, so you don’t have to remove umbrella from table to add the light. I like that it can be charged with included USB cord or can use regular batteries. The different light settings are also nice depending on how much light you need or want at the time. We’ll be using this quite often when sitting at the table by the pool this summer.

A lovely gentle cleanser - good for rosacea-prone skin
I have also purchased the Thayer's Milky toner and really liked it. I normally use oil-based cleansers, like Beauty of Joseon ginseng oil cleanser (which I still do love), and Cosrx makes a snail mucin cleanser that I use for cleansing off makeup or sunscreen and it's very nice. But for my daily regular wash, particularly in the morning, I like a very gentle easy-to-wash-off cleanser that hydrates and soothes. This Thayer's has no perfumes/fragrances! Good for rosacea-prone skin. Hydrates and soothes very well. It didn't strip my skin, wasn't oily at all (though good oil-based cleansers do feel oily they don't stay oily), and felt wonderful as I cleansed my skin - also washed away very easily and quickly; I do about 14 or so splashes of water to be sure all is removed then use a washable reusable toner pad with toner to remove any lingering residue. It doesn't make my skin feel tight or dry. It is gentle. It doesn't lather up, which I like since I don't use lathering products or soaps on my face. No burning, itching, redness, or any irritation at all. I normally use K-Beauty but Thayer's is one brand I will use that's not in the K-Beauty products category. It really is a lovely cleanser.

Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser That Doesn’t Strip My Skin
I’ve been really enjoying this cleanser so far. The formula feels lightweight, creamy, and hydrating without leaving behind any heavy residue. I especially love that it’s fragrance free and sulfate free because it feels very gentle on my skin and doesn’t leave my face feeling stripped, tight, or dry after washing. The ingredients are a huge plus for me, especially the snow mushroom and hyaluronic acid. My skin feels soft, balanced, and hydrated after every use. I’ve also noticed my skin looking healthier overall since adding this into my routine. Another feature I appreciate is the locking pump, which makes it convenient for travel or storing without worrying about leaks. Overall, this feels like a high-quality everyday cleanser and I’ll definitely continue using it.

Use it for barrier repair and our sensitive skin
This does not remove makeup the best, but my daughter and I use it for barrier repair and our sensitive skin. It helps our skin feel soft and hydrated instead of stripped or tight after washing. Great gentle cleanser for everyday use! This is now part of our monthly subscription because we use it so often.
