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.

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.
so worth the wait! i love supporting verdant lyfe. they never fail to amaze me.
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!
