Common Name: Swiss Cheese Philodendron, Adanson's Monstera, Swiss Cheese Vine, Five Holes Plant 

Scientific Name: Monstera adansonii

A philodendron variety where having holes in the middle of the plants is actually a good thing!  You would think that having so many holes would make the plant fragile, but they are just as hardy as other types of philodendrons!

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small to medium-sized amphibians and reptiles.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma

Soil Depth: Prefers moderate to deep soil. Can be placed partially-submerged near water features.

Lighting: Low to medium light, or bright indirect light. Do not place under a heat or basking lamp. 

Humidity & Misting: 40% - 100%. Prefers consistently moist soil. Can be placed partially-submerged near water features.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: This very fast growing plant will form vines that will creep and climb wherever it can! If allowed to climb, the leaves will get larger as they mature. Can be pruned if necessary. Vigorous root system will burrow deep and/or form aerial roots to cling to surfaces in high humidity environments. Excellent when paired with the BioDude's moss vines or jungle vines!

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: 60 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit tolerated, but prefers temperatures in the 60 - 75 degree range. Excellent as a sprawling/semi-clumping groundcover, a climbing vine, or placed next to a water feature.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Philodendrons (and Monsteras) are members of the family Araceae, so they contain low levels of oxalic acid and sharp calcium oxalate crystals known as raphides. Ingestion may cause oral irritation, but they are not commonly consumed by reptiles or amphibians.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted philodendron is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
