Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf'

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' is a green Swiss cheese vine with slim climbing stems, naturally perforated leaves and quick indoor vine extension. The leaves are usually oval to softly heart-shaped, with irregular holes that form while the plant is still young. As the vine extends, each node can produce aerial roots, so the plant can climb, trail or be cut back and rooted from stem sections.

With fully green leaves, this plant usually extends quickly from its nodes and produces leaves regularly. It fills a pot well, climbs when given a pole or plank, and can be shaped into a climbing plant or a softer hanging vine depending on how the stems are guided.

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' key features

  • Growth: Fast vining aroid with flexible stems, visible nodes and aerial roots.
  • Leaves: Green Swiss cheese foliage with natural oval fenestrations.
  • Shape: Can climb on a pole or trail from a shelf, hanger or high planter.
  • Pruning: Long stems can be shortened above a node and rooted as cuttings.

Green Swiss cheese vine growth and habitat

Monstera adansonii Schott belongs to Araceae and is native across tropical America, where it grows in warm, wet forest habitats. Its climbing habit, aerial roots and relatively thin leaf blades suit filtered light, steady warmth and a root zone that stays moist but aerated.

The leaf holes are normal fenestrations, not pest damage. Their size and placement vary with maturity, support, light, nutrition and root health. A supported vine often develops larger, more closely spaced leaves than a long unsupported stem, especially once the aerial roots can press against a textured surface.

Care for the green Monstera adansonii vine

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light. Gentle morning or late afternoon sun can work after acclimation, but hot midday sun can scorch the thinner leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the upper half of the pot has dried. Even moisture reduces drooping and crisping while air still moves through the root zone.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco fibre, perlite, pumice or similar mineral structure.
  • Temperature: Keep around 18–27 °C. Cold windowsills and wet winter substrate can quickly damage roots.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated, while 50–70% helps new leaves expand smoothly.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank or trellis for larger leaves and a more vertical plant.
  • Feeding: Feed after pruning or during fast vine extension so new nodes have fresh nutrients; ease off when growth slows.
  • Propagation: Use stem cuttings with at least one node. A leaf alone cannot restart the vine.
  • Repotting: Move up when the pot dries quickly because roots have filled it, and refresh tired mix around the fast-running stems.

Common Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' problems

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the pot is staying wet too long, especially in cool conditions. Let more of the mix dry and improve aeration if needed.
  • Long bare gaps: The vine may need brighter indirect light or a support. Stretching usually shows between the nodes first.
  • Crispy edges: Review watering gaps, dry indoor air, fertiliser build-up and direct sun exposure.
  • Dark soft patches: Inspect roots if the substrate smells sour or remains wet for many days. Cold, wet roots are a common cause.
  • Marked new leaves: Check fresh growth, nodes and leaf undersides for thrips, mites, scale or mealybugs.

Pet and child safety

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' should not be chewed by pets or children. Its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and digestive tract. Keep cut stems and fallen leaves out of reach, and wash hands after heavy pruning.

Botanical name and meaning

Monstera adansonii Schott is an accepted species in Araceae and was first published in 1830. The genus name Monstera is linked with unusual leaf forms in the group, while adansonii honours French botanist Michel Adanson.

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' stays close to the classic green Swiss cheese vine: fast nodes, natural leaf holes and stems that can climb or trail.

Brown skin friendly! No white cast! 🥳 Bye dark spots!
Size: 2.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 2.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Brown skin friendly! No white cast! 🥳 Colorescience comes through again! This is a fantastic sunscreen. It’s SPF 50 and it protects against blue light. So if you’re trying to get rid of hyperpigmentation, this will help you on your journey. I usually use tinted sunscreen for that reason but luckily, we have a non-tinted option with this! I use this primarily on my body because it doesn’t get stain clothing. But sometimes I use it on my face too, on its own or under a tinted formula. I like the light coverage for my face to even out my skin tone. The texture is light and thin; reminds me of Tatcha silk screen but without the slight tint. This goes on white but somehow disappears into my skin. Also the price point is a better value, here. Even better when it’s on sale! I love Tatcha and use it regularly but I am happy to have this in my stash now. I had to get the big bottle when it was on sale. The formula is very elegant and leaves a natural finish. It spread and blends like a dream! It is so quick! You will NOT have to rub this in for 30 minutes to get it to blend. This physical sunscreen is a daily essential for me. It doesn’t burn my eyes or irritate my oily skin. It’s water resistant for 40 min, so it’s good for the summer heat. But where are all the photos? Cause sometimes we need proof, right? Well, here is my contribution. I’m wearing this on my body (neck, chest, arms, legs, hands and feet). * I reached out to Colorescience to ask about the effectiveness against UVA (aging) rays for this product. Other countries will usually mark this on a PA scale, the strongest protection being PA++++. But in the US, sunscreen isn’t required to specify how much; they are required to make sure it has at least the FDA “minimum” protection against UVA, and UVB (burning) rays and they have to label it “Broad Spectrum.” SPF is the protection level against UVB only. Colorescience has started to label some of their products with PA++++. Since this wasn’t labeled like that, I asked. They told me they recently completed testing and No-Show has earned the PA++++ rating. So they are in the process of updating the packaging. Colorescience knows what we want, even though the FDA is asleep at the wheel.

It Works REALLY well
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have Lupus with Eczema and Psoriasis, and my skin is really sensitive. I was trying to find a sunscreen that wouldn't break out my skin when I was out and at home. I was looking on YouTube and came across a channel, DrDillyOfficial. She herself has eczema, so when she recommended the brand, I took a chance to buy this, and it was one of the best choices I made for my skin. Its cast free, very light weight and it has a nice glow effect so it doesnt make you shiny but the glow effect I love. When you're outside, you forget you even have it on its that good. I would highly recommend this it has been a life saver when going outside and worrying about sun protection

Perfect daily face sunscreen
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best daily sunscreen I have tried. Not greasy & leaves no white cast. Did not break out my face. It seems to make my skin look smoother & healthier while protecting it from daily sun damage. The consistency is not thick or too watery. It is thin enough to go on smooth and quickly. Just shake the bottle and lightly squeeze the tip onto your finger or face and smooth on evenly. Can be used under makeup as a base.

Stays in place no white cast. THE BEST!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
BEST facial sunscreen I have ever used. I also use Color Science tinted sunscreen when I’m not wearing any “makeup” . I was looking for a sunscreen to use under my regular makeup. I’ve tried several products that were highly recommended . This sunscreen actually makes my high-end makeup look smoother, softer and even looks to blur the wrinkles more than just the makeup. My makeup stays put it doesn’t pill, shred or melt off. I also wear it without makeup when exercising outdoors, so of course I’m going to sweat. It doesn’t burn my eyes if I sweat and actually stays in place. I also put it on my neck and Décolletage and it does not melt off. I know it’s pricey, but it’s worth it. I highly recommend this product. Check out the other Color Science tinted sunscreen It’s amazing too.
