Monstera adansonii, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Vine, is a much-loved tropical climber admired for its unique, perforated leaves and easy-going nature. A member of the Araceae family and native to the rainforests of Central and South America, this species embodies the wild, untamed beauty of the jungle while remaining compact and manageable indoors.

Its heart-shaped leaves are deep green and adorned with natural oval-shaped holes (fenestrations), giving the plant its iconic “Swiss cheese” appearance. As the plant matures, the leaves become larger and more intricately perforated, creating a delicate yet dramatic texture. Monstera adansonii is both a climber and trailer, making it perfect for hanging baskets, tall shelves, or trained up a moss pole for a lush, vertical statement.

Lively, tropical, and wonderfully versatile, the Swiss Cheese Vine brings instant jungle charm to any home — a true favourite among plant enthusiasts and interior designers alike.


Monstera adansonii – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, while too little light may slow growth and reduce leaf perforation. East- or north-facing windows are ideal, or filtered light through sheer curtains in brighter rooms.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. In winter, reduce watering slightly while maintaining gentle moisture. Always ensure good drainage to prevent root rot — Monstera adansonii prefers to dry out a little between waterings.

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature: Prefers warmth between 18–28 °C; avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15 °C.
Humidity: High humidity (60–80%) encourages healthy growth and glossy foliage. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or group with other tropical plants to create a humid environment.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, airy, and well-draining mix — compost combined with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir works perfectly. This mimics its natural epiphytic conditions, providing aeration while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh nutrients and promote strong root growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause leaf burn or salt build-up. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune to control length and encourage bushier growth. Cuttings root easily in water or moist soil, making propagation simple. Wipe the leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their natural gloss. Rotate the plant occasionally for even light exposure and balanced growth.

Growth and Maturity

A moderately fast grower, Monstera adansonii can reach 1.5–2 metres indoors when supported. Its vining habit allows it to climb or trail, producing larger and more fenestrated leaves as it matures. With the right care, it develops into a lush, cascading feature that instantly transforms interiors.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Sparse growth: Insufficient light.

  • Pests: Occasionally affected by thrips or spider mites — treat with neem oil and maintain humidity.


Background and Benefits

Native to the humid tropical forests of Central and South America, Monstera adansonii grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees in search of dappled light and absorbing moisture from the air. Its natural fenestrations allow wind and light to pass through the leaves in the dense rainforest canopy — an adaptation that also makes it highly decorative in indoor spaces.

Like other Monsteras, it’s an excellent natural air purifier, filtering toxins and improving indoor air quality. Symbolically, its perforated leaves represent adaptability and growth — a reminder of resilience and flexibility in changing environments.

Perfect for bright living spaces, bedrooms, or conservatories, the Swiss Cheese Vine brings a lush, jungle-inspired atmosphere wherever it grows.

    READ THIS IMMEDIATELY
    Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
    No seriously pause. Because what in the actual psychological horror fever dream did I just read??? BUT like in a five stars my brain is permanently altered kind of way Everything about this book felt like perfection wrapped in dread. It has been living rent free in my head since I closed it and honestly I don't see it leaving anytime soon. I have tried to pick up other books since and my brain just says no we live here now (badumchaaa iykyk) I devoured it in one day because putting it down was simply not an option. I wasn't even expecting to get this invested but something about Kliewers writing just grabbed me by the throat and said you have taken on the job as caretaker you can't leave now This is not just a book you read It is a book that stays And lingers It is intense. Creepy. Deep. Completely mind bending in a way that feels personal. Yes it delivers that classic something is lurking terror but the real horror is the emotional kind. The kind that pokes at your soft spots and doesnt apologize. It hits fear. Loneliness. Grief. Depression. Regret. And it does it in a way that feels uncomfortably real. Like you are not just scared, you are seen. And that is just absolutely terrifying And Macey. I have never seen myself so clearly in a character. She is me. I am her. The overthinking? The spiraling inner monologues? The dry humor? I felt personally attacked in the most validating way. I highlighted SO many of her thoughts because I swear I have had those exact conversations with myself. No lie. I want to scream at everyone to read this while also gently grabbing you by the shoulders and saying CHECK THE CONTENT WARNINGS FIRST This book goes to some heavy places. But if you can handle those please PRETTY PLEASE pick it up AND PLEASE JUST TURN OFF THE LIGHT Huge thank you to Atria, Netgalley, and Marcus Kleiwer for this advanced invitation to Brooksview Heights and introducing me to my favorite book of the year so far anyway

    Another great book
    Format: Hardcover
    The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer As a fan of We Used to Live Here, I was really excited to receive an ARC of The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer—and it definitely delivered. This story had exactly the kind of atmosphere I was hoping for: tense, eerie, and creepy. Kliewer does a fantastic job building suspense and keeping that uneasy feeling simmering throughout the book. There were quite a few moments where I found myself practically yelling at the main character to make different choices but it also added to the tension in a way that kept me fully invested. Overall, this was a gripping read with aN unsettling and a compelling storyline.

    Weird story, but great writing
    Format: Hardcover
    This novel started out strong: good premise, good writing that pulls you in and makes you feel like you're there with the main character, and a great setting for creepiness. BUT, as I continued to read, I got more frustrated by it. The main character's actions become irritating, the story bogs down a bit towards the end, and there is ZERO explanation for any of the purpose behind her actions. Some questions I still have: WHY do you have to follow these specific instructions, what really happens if you don't, and WHO are the people on the phone? If you're a fan of "Lost" or "From", you'll probably enjoy this. But if you need closure and a solid ending, this might only frustrate you.

    The entity is satire for suicidal ideation
    Format: Kindle
    In my opinion The Caretaker is a heartbreaking story exploring how suicide survivors and people with depression struggle to get by in a world that is constantly demanding more of the most vulnerable. This book’s entity and the “rites” utilized to keep it at bay I believe to be more satirical than literal. I don’t think this is a literal SCP-type monster with super rigid containment procedures. I believe it to be a malevolent entity that embodies the pressures the mentally ill have to face every day. Whether that means it is an actual embodiment of suicidal ideation or not, no one can truly be sure and the vagueness of the story allows anyone to form their own conclusions on the matter. I personally believe that the entity wants more than anything to make the Caretaker suffer and give up hope so that it can spread its malevolence and their agony far and wide. The “rites” are representative of the day to day work and chores the mentally ill have to slog through for their survival but not necessarily in the best interest for their mental wellbeing. The “visitors” are representative of the people the mentally ill have to deal with and sacrifice their own mental fortitude for in and outside of work. The rabbits are an extremely layered nonspecific representation of the innocence that others ask to be sacrificed for their own personal gain. Macy Mullins is a well thought out train wreck of woman who has more problems than not with seemingly the entire world working against her. Any person who has felt suicidal, depressed, hatred for the world, or even conflict with their own emotional wellbeing can see themselves in this character. As the caretaker, Macy is tormented by the entity with her past of depression, grief, and hardship and her mental state is pushed to the very limit. While the story can feel slightly inconsistent with the entity’s behavior and the rites Macy has to try in vain to complete, the book succeeds in capturing the exhaustion and hopelessness that those suffering from suicidal thoughts and depression feel when they no longer feel they have no other way out from their own suffering. This is the tragedy of the story and the true raw sympathy it has for Macy and people like her. I wish all who read this my very best and I hope one day we can all believe in a world where less “rabbits” need to be sacrificed for everyone’s wellbeing.
