 A close relative of the Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera deliciosa), the Philodendron Monkey Mask is often also referred to as Philodendron or Monstera Obliqua, however a true Obliqua is more hole than leaf and nowhere near as attractive as this little chap.

Monstera adansonii is easy to care for so long as it has humid, warm conditions. The plant has a vining habit and often grows entwined in and around itself, with new leaves and vines sometimes growing through the holes in existing leaves. This can lead to leaves tearing which gives the plant a shabby chic rather that pristine appeal. So try to keep an eye on this and release new leaves quickly.

 

How to care for your Monkey Mask-

Water:  Letting these dry out a bit in between watering is best, wait until soil is about 80% dry.

Light: Bright indirect light is best. Too much sun and the leave will scorch, but too little and it will become leggy and sparse.

Humidity:  Loves higher humidity but this can be achieved with a mist if it can’t be placed in a bathroom. 

Temperature: Average room temperatures but nothing below 10’c.
