Monstera adansonii is a gorgeous plant to have in your assortment. It's relatively easy to get going and will reward you with the frequent unfurling of beautiful leaves that have gorgeous organic-shaped holes in them (called fenestration). It is a tropical perennial plant native to Central America and definitely a favorite of ours on long moss poles.

Verdant lyfe goes above and beyond with their packaging. Everything was packaged so well there was no dirt mess or leaf damage. The plant itself is beautiful and the marble pot with stand is super cute.
Was delivered in perfect condition and looks amazing!
Amazing packaging! It was wrapped so snuggly and carefully 🤩. Beautiful plant super happy with purchase and can’t wait for my next one.
I chose this one for its vining capabilities and look forward to watching her grow over the year!
Beautiful little plant
Love my Monstera. It arrived very well packaged. I waited a couple of days before planting. It’s doing great in its new pot!! I’m very pleased.
