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.

Delivers what it promises
I’m a fair skinned person who burns and freckles easily and in my 40’s. I also love being outside. I have worn spf on my face (and usually my hands) basically every day since I was 13 and because of that people always say I don’t look my age. Back then, only a 4 or 8 was available in face moisturizers, but I have always worn the highest that is recommended and usually face moisturizers are behind in meeting the recommendations so I have usually worn a full on sunscreen under my makeup. As the recommendations get higher it has been harder to find something that doesn’t look pasty, smell bad or interfere with makeup. I was using Eucerin spf 30 and Cera Ve spf 30 but I have wanted to increase spf to 50 because that is what is recommended now. I tried the Cera Ve spf 50 and was disappointed by how tacky it is and pasty it looks. I don’t even like wearing it alone to the beach because it’s so chalky white and sticky. Neutrogena healthy defense is alright but it has a scent and some chemicals that are not so good. It also is a pretty small bottle (1.7 oz) when you use it everyday on face and hands. But THIS product has blown me away with its affordability and quality. It IS sheer. Easily blends in and disappears quickly into skin. It’s completely odorless. It’s not tacky or greasy—you feel moisturized but not sticky. It performs under foundation even better than the Cera Ve 30. Now, this doesn’t have the extra ceramides and vitamins that does so I’ll still be using that when I feel extra dry like in winter, or I might mix the two moisturizers, but this Solimo reef safe sunscreen will definitely be my daily face and hand sunscreen in the spring, summer and early fall. These are the days I go straight from work to the garden or the beach. I can quickly reapply over my makeup before I leave the house again feel fully protected while I’m out.

I believe equal to name brand rhyming with NitroGina
I believe it is equal to the name brand mentioned on the front side of the tube. It is 55 SPF Sun Protection Factor so it offers strong UV A and UV B protection which are the 2 ranges of sun rays that do the skin damage and burning. It is an easily absorbed lotion that when rubbed goes into the skin and is not visible. It feels good after being rubbed in in that it feels dry and not overly greasy or with no shine and sheen. If you put on a shirt over your skin with lotion it will appear on the inside of a dark shirt but it will wash out right away when that shirt is washed. It is a good product and offers burn protection to me in some clear-sky strong sun uses. Reapply after entering the pool or after an hour (all sunscreen labels say reapply after 80 minutes which I believe is per recommendations of the federal FDA or some medical studies). I reapply often and I still get tanned but I do not want to burn.

Super impressed by this!
Love this sunscreen and will be reordering it. It’s sheer, light, invisible, gives me the protection I need for my middle aged skin and I can swear my complexion has gotten better since I started using it. I’m super impressed how it’s comparable to more expensive brands in quality without the high price tag. It’s made me start looking into other skin products I can purchase from the Amazon brand.

How is this SO good?
I'm a sunscreen enthusiast. I wear sunscreen every day, and I know how hard it is to find one that is actually pleasant to use. It goes on like a white paste but it quickly blends in to the skin and becomes invisible. There is NO white cast after you rub it in. The initial white color makes it really easy to see where you have applied it. The lotion is very moisturizing but it's also fairly lightweight feeling, and isn't greasy. My skin is usually on the dry side. The smell is nice and neutral, some people might say that it has a bit of a "sunscreen" smell. But the smell is pretty faint and it doesn't linger. I find it to be pleasant, personally. Additionally, I have used this in the water and I find it to offer excellent water resistance even though it doesn't form a heavy-feeling layer on the skin. This is particularly impressive to me. This sunscreen will definitely be a go-to for beach days. It's great for face and body! The one caveat is that it tastes terrible if you get it in your mouth. So I definitely do not recommend eating it, lol. You might have this issue if you're particularly sweaty and the sweat drips down your face. In my experience many sunscreens do this, so I don't consider it to be a big deal. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for cost-effective and lightweight sun protection. It's great on face and body.

Good product
It’s very comparable to the Neutrogena version. Its light on my face, does not leave a white cast, and doesn’t break me out. The price point is excellent compared to the name brand one. I go walking almost everyday and live in a sunny and hot area where the climate is hot all year round. I haven’t gotten burnt since wearing this sunscreen. Definitely recommend *UPDATE* This sunscreen gave me acne. I rarely breakout and I now have five pimples on my face. I do not recommend!!!
