★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.
Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

All about
The Monstera dossier
Monstera deliciosa
The Monstera deliciosa grows naturally in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it climbs tree trunks with its aerial roots in search of light. The famous holes and splits in the leaves (called fenestration) let wind and light through to the lower foliage.
Large specimens keep that climbing character: a moss pole or support keeps the plant upright and encourages bigger leaves with more holes.

Placement and light
The Monstera prefers a bright spot without direct midday sun. Harsh direct sunlight scorches the leaves, while too little light produces small leaves without holes. A spot near an east or north facing window is ideal, or two to three metres from a south facing window.
Rotate the plant a quarter turn every few weeks so it grows evenly. Keep the temperature above 15 degrees and avoid draughts and a spot directly above a radiator.
Water and feeding
Water about once a week in spring and summer, and once every ten to fourteen days in autumn and winter. Feel first: the top three to five centimetres of soil should be dry before you water again. Slightly too dry is better than too wet, as root rot from overwatering is problem number one.
Feed with green plant fertiliser every two weeks from March to September. The Monstera appreciates somewhat higher humidity; misting is fine but usually not necessary.
Is something wrong with your Monstera?
Yellow leaves usually point to overwatering or poorly draining soil. Brown edges or tips indicate dry air or underwatering. New leaves without holes almost always mean too little light. In dry air spider mites can appear, recognisable by fine webbing on the underside of the leaves.
Repot a Monstera every two to three years, preferably in spring. Choose a pot with a diameter about twenty percent larger than the current nursery pot and use airy, well draining potting soil. Large specimens are top heavy: a sturdy, slightly taller decorative pot keeps the plant stable. You will find the matching pots right on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The Monstera contains calcium oxalate, which makes it mildly toxic to cats and dogs. Chewing on the leaves causes irritation of the mouth and stomach. Serious poisoning is rare, but with nibbling pets it is better to keep the plant out of reach or choose a pet friendly alternative.
With enough light the Monstera is a fast grower that can add dozens of centimetres per year. Each new leaf grows larger and develops more splits than the last. Our XXL specimens are already years old and give your interior an instant mature jungle look, without years of waiting.
Indoors a Monstera deliciosa can grow to two or three metres tall and roughly as wide, especially with a moss pole for support. It grows fairly quickly in spring and summer. XXLplant sells the Swiss cheese plant from 70 to 140 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot.
Which size Monstera deliciosa should I choose?
A 70 cm Monstera fits nicely in a low spot or next to a sofa and will keep growing considerably over the coming years. If you want a full plant with large, split leaves straight away, choose the 105 or 140 cm. With the larger sizes, allow for the width the leaves take up.
Where is the best place for a Monstera deliciosa?
A Monstera deliciosa prefers a bright spot with indirect light or partial shade, for example near an east or west-facing window. Harsh direct sun can scorch the leaves. In a spot that is too dark, new leaves develop fewer holes.
How often should you water a Monstera deliciosa?
Water a Monstera deliciosa about once a week and let the top layer of soil dry out slightly between waterings. The soil can be lightly moist but not wet. It needs less water in winter.
Why is my Monstera deliciosa getting yellow leaves?
Yellow leaves on a Monstera deliciosa are usually caused by too much water or a pot that does not drain well. Check that the soil dries out between waterings and that no water is left standing in the decorative pot. The odd old lower leaf turning yellow is normal.
Is a Monstera deliciosa toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, the Monstera deliciosa is toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves and stems contain calcium oxalate, which irritates the mouth and stomach when chewed. So keep it out of reach of pets that nibble on plants.
How is a Monstera deliciosa delivered?
XXLplant ships the Monstera upright in its own plant box, with the crown in a paper sleeve and the pot secured. The largest plants go with a specialist carrier, otherwise with PostNL or DHL. In frosty or hot weather we add a heat pack or cold pack.
