The undisputed monarch of tropical plants, the Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a visually stunning plant with enormous, glossy leaves that naturally have holes in them, much like the holes in Swiss cheese. You've probably seen it in a million Instagram posts about home décor. Its very existence brightens a space and enhances the décor.

Dos
Although this plant can survive in nearly any type of environment, you may give it an extra treat by misting it gently once a week with a Mister. For optimal results, spritz your Monstera early in the day to allow the water to completely evaporate before dusk falls. Your Monstera will thrive at room temps typically between 60 and 80 degrees.
Don'ts
Strong, direct sunlight should be avoided since it could burn the leaves.
