Swiss Cheese Vine

Small holed leaves on a fast-trailing vine.

The small, trailing cousin of the monstera; hang it or let it climb a small trellis on a desk.

Monstera adansonii

Approx. 20-40 cm

Final size varies with the variety, pot size and light conditions.

Bright indirect light

Near a bright window behind a sheer curtain. Direct Riyadh midday sun can scorch the leaves.

Water once the top 3-5 cm of soil is dry and empty the saucer afterwards. Yellow leaves mean too much water; drooping means watering was late.

Watering needs change with room temperature, pot size and season, so check the soil rather than following a fixed schedule.

Average humidity

Copes with normal indoor humidity; keeping it out of direct AC airflow helps.

Ordinary indoor temperatures between 18 and 28°C suit it well.

Avoid direct AC airflow and intense heat behind glass in summer.

A well-draining indoor potting mix.

A balanced diluted liquid feed once a month from spring to early autumn; stop in winter.

Repot when roots fill the pot or push through the drainage holes, when the plant becomes unstable, or when growth slows. Move up one pot size only.

Trim long or bare stems to keep the plant full, and remove any yellow leaves.

Wipe broad leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, and avoid leaf-polish products.

Likes a little more humidity than its big cousin; a bathroom with a window is ideal.

Toxic (calcium oxalate crystals): mouth irritation, drooling, vomiting.

• Yellow leaves: usually overwatering or poor drainage.
• Brown tips: dry air, tap-water minerals or a direct AC draft.
• Drooping: watering was delayed or the soil dried out completely.
• Slow growth: not enough light or time to repot.
