Baby Plants - Monstera Deliciosa

Baby Monstera Deliciosa, or Baby Swiss Cheese Plant as it is more commonly known, is a small version of the iconic statement houseplant. Although the Swiss Cheese Plant is well-known for the distinctive holes in the leaves, there won’t be any of those for a few years on your baby plant. Instead, for the first 3 years your plant will have lush, green, heart-shaped leaves.

Place your Baby Monstera in bright, indirect sunlight, ideally in a humid environment. If you place it in a drier environment, a regular misting is required. Once the top layer of soil is dry to touch, it’s time to rewater. If you do overwater this variety, it will let you know when its leaves begin to brown. This plant is poisonous if ingested, so keep away from pets and children.

This houseplant is an excellent choice for any plant lover, and it would also make a perfect plant gift. The miniature size is perfect for adding some greenery to a small shelf or an office desk with its rich green leaves. As it grows to a bigger size, it would be perfect as a statement plant in a living room or in front of a large window.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
