This is a species native to tropical rain forests, . The name deliciosa means "Delicious", referring to the edible fruit. It needs support indoors, either by way of moss stick or some stable structure nearby. this beauty is an easy to grow, large leaved plant with characteristic splits in the leaves. This easy-to-grow houseplant can get huge and live for many years, and it looks great with many different interior styles.
While it rarely flowers indoors, outdoors it produces flowers that develop into edible fruit that is said to taste like a fruit salad. Monstera deliciosa is a climber in its natural habitat, using its aerial roots to cling to large trees, so you should provide it with moss-covered support sticks or a trellis. If its aerial roots get unruly you can trim them, but it's best to just tuck them back into the pot. These look fantastic in large rooms, hallways, within offices and anywhere else that can cater for their size and caring needs. it is one of the most versatile plants to style with and is hard to go wrong.
We love the idea of combining the horizontal spread of the Monstrea, with a tall plant to create an explosion of green with just two plants.
We love the oversized leaves of the Monstrea, when placed at the eye level, like on a table top, the Monstrea fills up the room with green.
We've always loved simple whites, and when paired with the Monstrea, the space becomes completely fresh. The minimalist painting on the wall definitely helps.
We love how a simple woven basket can serve as a beautiful base to complement the plant, allowing for its roots to be tucked in whenever required. Also adding a plant to supplement a lamp in the corner is a great idea.
A blend of rustic wood, simple whites and a sutle touch of metal, all elements that go very well with the dash of green to brighten up the corner. We love how warm and cozy this feels.
We've always been fans if dull muted colors especially when they are paired with corner plants, the simple table manages to add to the warmth of this study cum bedroom.
Who doesent love a simple pine wood legged stool with an assortment of beautiful plants to create a more interesting corner.
We would've loved to see a more contemporary pot, but the overall setting scream cozy.
Doesnt the retro radio add a unique charm ? Along the mild grey cement floor and the rugged wooden cabinet, this living room makes for an amazing setting for a Monstrea to complete it.
The pastel colored bench adds just the right amount of color to go with the beautiful white setting. We are big fans of simple water colored paintings too.
With birch adding just the right amount of warmth, having a small amount of green completes this bathroom.
