Monstera deliciosa, often called the “Swiss Cheese Plant,” is known for its dramatic, split leaves that add an instant tropical vibe to any indoor space. As it matures, its foliage develops natural holes and cuts — a feature that has made it iconic among interior designers and plant lovers worldwide.

Native to the rainforests of Central America, this plant is well-suited to Indian homes, especially in bright, indirect light. Though not tied to mythology, its name deliciosa comes from the fruit it bears in nature, which is said to taste like a blend of pineapple and banana — though it rarely fruits indoors. Its bold look and easy care make it a statement piece in any setting.
