Quick Facts
Common Names: Split-Leaf Philodendron, Cut-Leaf Philodendron
Latin Name: Monstera deliciosa
This beautiful vining hemi-epiphyte is an understorey plant that grows up trees in its natural environment. Although it may have similar characteristics its name can be very deceiving as it is not actually a Philodendron. Its large fenestrations or holes in the leaves allow for light to penetrate the plant and seep into the foliage below. As good-looking as it is it can be very poisonous if ingested and needs a lot of support in a houseplant environment to continue its growth.
