About Monstera adansonii

Name: Monstera adansonii
Common Name: Swiss Cheese Plant, Adanson's Monsteria, Monkey Mask Plant

Monstera adansonii, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant or Adanson's Monstera, is a popular and attractive houseplant renowned for its unique foliage and easy care. This species belongs to the Araceae family and is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, including countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

Monstera adansonii is characterized by its distinctive heart-shaped leaves, which develop unique fenestrations (holes) as they mature, giving the plant its "Swiss cheese" appearance. The leaves are typically deep green, glossy, and can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length. The plant has a vining or climbing growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets, trellises, or as a trailing plant in a pot.

In its natural habitat, Monstera adansonii grows as an epiphyte, meaning it climbs trees and other structures to reach light. As a houseplant, it can be grown in a container or as a climbing vine with proper support.

Cultivation & Care Guide

Cultivation of Monstera adansonii

Conditions:

  1. Light: Monstera adansonii thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not develop as many fenestrations. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  2. Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10-12. It should be kept in temperatures between 18-27 °C (65-80 °F) and protected from cold drafts or temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F).
  3. Soil: Monstera adansonii prefers a well-draining, organic potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well to provide adequate drainage and aeration.
  4. Water: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure that the soil is well-drained and allow excess water to escape through the drainage holes.

Planting and Care:

  1. Planting: Plant Monstera adansonii in a container with good drainage. Use a rich, well-draining potting mix, and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
  2. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, liquid fertilizer every 1-2 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when the plant’s growth slows.
  3. Maintenance: Monstera adansonii is relatively low-maintenance. Regularly dust the leaves to keep them clean and allow the plant to photosynthesize efficiently. Prune any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain a healthy appearance.

Growing from Cuttings

  1. Cutting Preparation: Take a cutting from a healthy plant with at least one node (the area where leaves and roots grow) and a few leaves. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to make the cut.
  2. Propagation: Place the cutting in a glass of water or directly into a pot with a well-draining potting mix. If using water, change the water every few days and wait for roots to form before transplanting.
  3. Germination Conditions: Place the cutting in a warm, bright location but out of direct sunlight. Rooting can take several weeks to a couple of months.
  4. Care for New Plants: Once the cutting has developed a sufficient root system, transplant it into a pot with well-draining soil. Continue to care for it as you would a mature Monstera adansonii, providing bright, indirect light and regular watering.

Monstera adansonii is a stylish and resilient plant that adds a touch of tropical flair to any indoor space. Its distinctive foliage and adaptable nature make it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts.

Can't wait for the next one!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My 9 year old loved the story and illustrations. She is hooked on this series and was thrilled to discover the graphic novel. She liked that there are new things to discover from the original Whatever After version of the story. Even though they are minor it was fun for her to catch the details.

So good!
Format: Paperback
This whole series of regular books is clever and wonderful; laugh out loud funny and inspiring. I only wish there were more graphic novels. This is a great place to start though.

Cute graphic novel version of the original Whatever After novel
Format: Paperback
I read this book after my daughter read it for our mom/daughter book club. We've read several of the Whatever After novel series, but my daughter really enjoys graphic novels, so she was excited to see they are converting the novels into graphic novels. This was my first graphic novel. Fairest of All was cute and followed the storyline of the original novel pretty well, with the pretty illustrations depicting the parts that would normally be written as exposition/narrative. I liked when Abby was telling Snow about the fairy tale she stars in and it would show a cloth backdrop behind them. It's also fun to see how Abby and Jonah (brother and sister) will fix the stories they accidentally mess up.
