Monstera deliciosa

Common Name: Swiss Cheese Plant

The Monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a tropical plant that is native to Central and South America and has been cultivated as a houseplant. It is a fast-growing floor plant that is prized for its large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that split from the leaf edge to the center of the vein as it grows.
