Monstera deliciosa is a popular indoor plant with large green leaves that often have splits, giving the plant an exotic and tropical appearance. This plant is also known as the 'Swiss cheese plant' because of the characteristic holes in the leaves. Monstera deliciosa is relatively easy to care for and thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. This plant can grow large and is often found in interiors due to its air-purifying properties and attractive look. It is important to regularly support the plant with a moss pole, for example, because Monstera deliciosa has a tendency to climb.
