About Monstera adansonii

Name: Monstera adansonii
Common Name: Swiss Cheese Plant, Adanson's Monsteria, Monkey Mask Plant

Monstera adansonii, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant or Adanson's Monstera, is a popular and attractive houseplant renowned for its unique foliage and easy care. This species belongs to the Araceae family and is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, including countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

Monstera adansonii is characterized by its distinctive heart-shaped leaves, which develop unique fenestrations (holes) as they mature, giving the plant its "Swiss cheese" appearance. The leaves are typically deep green, glossy, and can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length. The plant has a vining or climbing growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets, trellises, or as a trailing plant in a pot.

In its natural habitat, Monstera adansonii grows as an epiphyte, meaning it climbs trees and other structures to reach light. As a houseplant, it can be grown in a container or as a climbing vine with proper support.

Cultivation & Care Guide

Cultivation of Monstera adansonii

Conditions:

  1. Light: Monstera adansonii thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not develop as many fenestrations. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  2. Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10-12. It should be kept in temperatures between 18-27 °C (65-80 °F) and protected from cold drafts or temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F).
  3. Soil: Monstera adansonii prefers a well-draining, organic potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well to provide adequate drainage and aeration.
  4. Water: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure that the soil is well-drained and allow excess water to escape through the drainage holes.

Planting and Care:

  1. Planting: Plant Monstera adansonii in a container with good drainage. Use a rich, well-draining potting mix, and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
  2. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, liquid fertilizer every 1-2 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when the plant’s growth slows.
  3. Maintenance: Monstera adansonii is relatively low-maintenance. Regularly dust the leaves to keep them clean and allow the plant to photosynthesize efficiently. Prune any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain a healthy appearance.

Growing from Cuttings

  1. Cutting Preparation: Take a cutting from a healthy plant with at least one node (the area where leaves and roots grow) and a few leaves. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to make the cut.
  2. Propagation: Place the cutting in a glass of water or directly into a pot with a well-draining potting mix. If using water, change the water every few days and wait for roots to form before transplanting.
  3. Germination Conditions: Place the cutting in a warm, bright location but out of direct sunlight. Rooting can take several weeks to a couple of months.
  4. Care for New Plants: Once the cutting has developed a sufficient root system, transplant it into a pot with well-draining soil. Continue to care for it as you would a mature Monstera adansonii, providing bright, indirect light and regular watering.

Monstera adansonii is a stylish and resilient plant that adds a touch of tropical flair to any indoor space. Its distinctive foliage and adaptable nature make it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts.

The awful smells keeps it from being five stars
Style: SPF 50 Lotion Mineral Sunscreen, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack)
I purchased two variants of this sunscreen - the 50 SPF lotion and the 33 SPF lotion. Despite the descriptions indicating that they have different scents, both seem to have the same scent, which is awful. One of the most important factors when purchasing a mineral sunscreen is the ease of application to the skin, and in my particular case, the ease of application to facial hair / a beard. I feel this sunscreen is lightweight and very easy to apply to the skin, including easy to apply to facial hair / a beard without stretching / pulling the skin. This makes it easy to wash off with a men's face wash. I feel the 33 SPF lotion is slightly more lightweight and easier to apply than the 50 SPF lotion. Another important factor when selecting a mineral sunscreen is the percentage of zinc oxide. This sunscreen meets the 20% or higher criteria, which makes it ideal for prolonged periods of exposed to UVA / UVB radiation. I would probably only recommend this sunscreen for incidental sun exposure; I am not sure how sweat resistant this sunscreen is being how lightweight it is and that it is not considered a sport sunscreen. I highly recommend and will continue to purchase.

Great sunscreen and great customer service!
Style: SPF 50 Spray Mineral Sunscreen, Size: 4.5 Ounce (1 Pack)
Really effective long lasting sunscreen without all the bad chemicals. Alcohol free, which I'm looking for in all lotions. Great product and even better customer service. I had a problem with one of my items and received a call from Aloe Up the same day. Support USA-family owned businesses.

Got burned
Our son used up the entire bottle during a day at the beach, reapplying every 1-2 hours, and still got quite burned.
