Our Monstera Monkey Mask (botanical name: Monstera adansonii) is a stunning tropical houseplant beloved for its striking, hole-punched leaves, often described as “Swiss cheese” foliage. Native to Central and South America, this fast-growing vine brings a lively, lush feel to any interior space and is an excellent choice for both new plant parents and seasoned collectors.
The plant's deeply fenestrated (perforated) leaves are its most iconic feature. These natural holes develop as the plant matures, offering a bold, sculptural look that adds character to bookshelves, windowsills, or hanging pots. The Monstera Monkey Mask is a climber by nature. You can let it cascade beautifully from a high shelf or provide a moss pole or trellis for upward growth. This adaptability allows you to style it to match any interior aesthetic, from modern minimalism to jungle-inspired décor.
The Monstera Monkey Mask comes in a 12cm nursery pot, and plant height at delivery typically ranges from 20cm to 30cm, depending on seasonal growth. As a vining plant, it can grow significantly with the right support and care, up to 60cm or more in height or length over time.
Its compact base and trailing stems make it ideal for a variety of display options:
Cascading from a hanging pot
Trailing across a windowsill or shelf
Climbing up a moss pole or small trellis
Its leaves range in size from 5cm to 15cm long, depending on maturity, and are spaced attractively along flexible stems. The plant’s lightweight nature makes it easy to reposition or repot as it grows. All dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly with each plant.
This versatile houseplant fits beautifully in both small and large spaces and can be trained and shaped to suit your interior style.
