A statement piece in any UAE home, the Swiss Cheese Plant is instantly recognizable for its dramatic split leaves.

Known for its massive, fenestrated leaves, the Swiss Cheese Plant is one of the most recognizable and eye-catching indoor plants. 
Great for filling a large corner or adding a unique focal point to any room.

This is the Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant. A statement monstera plant for homes in Dubai and across the UAE.

Size: 130cm tall.

Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It can adapt to medium light; water less often there. Keep it out of direct midday sun.
Water: Keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy. In UAE homes with the AC on, check with your finger before watering.

Pets: not pet-safe. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.

Not to be confused with the Monstera Adansonii (Swiss Cheese Vine), which has smaller leaves full of holes on a climbing, trailing vine. The Deliciosa is the upright plant with huge, split leaves.

Delivered across the UAE: we deliver in Dubai and across the UAE. Choose the Circle pot for a cement planter handmade in the UAE by Plntd, or keep the plant in its nursery pot.

Botanical name: Monstera Deliciosa

Swiss Cheese Plants grow best in spaces with bright indirect light, where the sun is soft or diffused. They can adapt to medium light, though be careful to not overwater it, as the soil will take longer to dry with lesser light. Avoid placing it under direct midday sunlight (especially during the summer), since that will cause your Swiss Cheese Plant to dry out and the leaf tips to brown. Never place it in a dark spot, since the soil will almost definitely take too long to dry out, which will cause your Swiss Cheese Plant's roots to rot (a death sentence).
Medium light diagram
Maintain moist soil

Every week, stick your finger 1-2 inches into the soil:

  • If you feel ANY moisture, at all, wait longer before watering.
  • If the soil feels COMPLETELY DRY, then it’s time to water.

Note: the more light it gets, the more often it'll need to be checked & watered

Discard excess water

When watering, fully water the entire soil mixture. Then, allow all the excess water to drain out the bottom of the pot’s drainage holes. Discard that water.

FAQ

Caring for your Monstera Deliciosa
Swiss Cheese plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Indoors, they need plenty of light to develop their iconic fenestrated (split) leaves.

Best placement: Near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window with sheer curtains.
If the light is too low: Growth slows, leaves stay smaller, and may not develop splits.
If the light is too strong: Direct UAE sunlight can scorch leaves or cause yellowing along the edges.
Water every 1–2 weeks, allowing the top 5–7 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.

How to check: Insert your finger deep into the soil — if it’s dry at that depth, it’s time to water. Water until it begins to drain from the bottom of the nursery pot.
Why this matters: Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering can cause drooping leaves.
Watering tip: When watering your plant, evenly water the entire soil mixture until you see water draining from the bottom of the nursery pot. After allowing all the excess water to drain out, discard that water.
Repot every 1–2 years or when roots start emerging from the drainage holes. Whichever comes first.

Why not repot right away? Like all plants, Swiss Cheese plants need time to adapt to their new home after delivery. Repotting too soon can cause extra transplant stress.
Best time to repot: October to May, when the plant is actively growing.
Yes! Swiss Cheese Plants benefit from regular fertilizing. If you live in the UAE, fertilize once a month from October to May, when your Swiss Cheese Plant is actively growing.

During the peak summer months (June–September), growth will slow due to extreme heat, so reduce or pause fertilizing if your plant isn’t actively growing. Over-fertilizing can stress the plant and lead to leaf burn.
Yes, if there are no other options — Swiss Cheese plants can handle UAE tap water, but it may benefit from filtered water if you notice leaf tip browning.

Better options: Filtered water or distilled water, especially if you notice leaf tip browning.

To distill water, boil in a kettle at 100 degrees celsius and allow the water to cool down to room temperature overnight.
Yes — given the right conditions, Monstera can grow impressively large indoors, with leaves reaching up to 60 cm wide. You can support growth with a moss pole to encourage upright climbing and bigger leaves.
No — it can cause mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Drooping leaves: Can be from underwatering or sudden environmental changes.
Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

If you ever need some extra help caring for your Swiss Cheese plant, feel free to send us a message on WhatsApp or book a plant care call with us.
Yes — Swiss Cheese plants appreciate moderate to high humidity. Monsteras are native to tropical rainforests, where humidity is naturally high. Adequate humidity helps prevent browning leaf edges and promotes lush growth.

Tip: Mist the leaves once a day to boost humidity and wipe leaves regularly to remove dust, which can block light absorption.
Yes — as long as it’s kept away from cold air blowing directly onto it, which can cause leaf edges to brown.
Our priority is to get your houseplant to you as safely as possible and ensure that it flourishes when it gets there.

Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot, securely packaged to protect the leaves and prevent soil spillage.

Once received, place your plant in the spot you plan to keep it in and leave it there until it is time to repot, allowing it to acclimate to its new environment.

There are some exceptions to this approach, specifically with our range of micro succulents, that tend to acclimate just fine outside of their nursery pots. So, we've gone ahead and repotted those plants for you.
As part of our guarantee, we offer free replacements for orders damaged during delivery.
Absolutely — our WhatsApp Chat is open daily for questions or booking plant care calls, and our Plant Care 101 guides include tips specific to your plants.
Select the "Make This a Gift?" option on the product page.
