The temperature must be at least 13☌ or higher during shipping and storage.

Limescale stains or water residue on the leaf diminish the decorative value, but do not do any harm otherwise.

This is a sign of having stood in wet soil for too long.

The plant should have no brown patches on the leaves.

Do check for scale insects and mealybug - these are hard to eradicate.

Monstera is generally a healthy, strong plant that is not particularly prone to pests and diseases.

If the plants have been placed too close together at the nursery the plant shape will sometimes be one-sided or have fewer leaves and be less attractive.

Monstera should have even leaf spacing: all sides must be attractively and evenly covered.

With a climbing plant the length of the moss pole is decisive.

Check whether it’s a hanging or climbing plant.

The Monstera’s pot size, height and thickness must be in proportion.

It can be used as a hanging or climbing plant.

The plant has small bright green leaves that contain attractive holes. Monstera obliqua is less well-known but also very attractive. It’s offered in both small pot sizes without a moss pole and as sizeable specimens a couple of metres tall which are attached to moss poles or other decorative supports. This is usually the green-leafed variety, but occasionally the variegated cultivar ‘Variegata’.

The best-known is the climber Monstera deleciosa, the Swiss cheese plant. They wrap and clamber upwards, growing their gigantic leaves and so providing some extra shade. They also use their fleshy aerial roots to secure themselves tree trunks, rocks or the soil in the forests of Southeast Asia. They are actually lianas from Panama and southern Mexico, where the plants can climb up the trees to a height of 20 metres. Its air-purifying properties mean that Monstera also helps create a pleasant environment in the home - another unique USP for this attractive houseplant. The most fascinating aspect is that the young leaves are heart-shaped and only develop the characteristic incisions later, when they’ve had some life experience. That has made it an enormous hit on Instagram and a very popular element for creating the popular urban jungle look, amongst other things. For a plant, Monstera has a lot to offer: stems, sometimes a moss pole, a trunk, usually impressive aerial roots - there’s plenty to see.
