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.

I am endlessly impressed with the amount of packaging Verdant Lyfe uses for their plants. The plant came secure and safe in its original packaging and was still moist from the paper towel that was wrapped around it. It was lacking some sun of course on its trip to me, but it still looks healthy and happy!

My adansonii got smooshed a bit in transit the wrapping VL did saved most of it. Bent the plant at the base of the root and I lost the whole root system but I did manage to save it and put it in water. Doing well so far and already has new roots coming in.
