The most striking feature of this plant is that its larger more mature leaves are full of holes. The name MONSTERA comes from the monstrous size the plant can grown into while DELICIOSA refers to its edible fruit. Unlike those plants though Monstera deliciosas size and weight make it too unwieldy to grow as a hanging or trailing plant in most situations.
The Monstera Deliciosa forms much bigger leaves in its adult form whereas the Monkey Mask produces holey leaves. 5 out of 5 stars. With the right care the cheese vine plant makes a great evergreen indoor houseplant.
