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.

Pretty lightweight
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Although it still leaves a little bit of a shine ( more of a dewy look), there is definitely not that much of a greasy feel which really helps me to keep being consistent with using sunscreen because my big issue with using other sunscreens is that they're too greasy feeling and not lightweight and leave too much of a shine on my already oily face.

Not for sensitive skin
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have combination skin, prone to acne, and sensitive skin. Even though this is labeled as non-comedogenic and best suited for oily skin, I still experienced acne because the consistency of the sunscreen is really thick. It makes it hard to blend (really hard) and upsets my skin. It also smells a lot like alcohol, more so than most sunscreens, even those from this brand. I bet it's good for some skins but it simply wasn't for me.

Finally!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been looking for a sunscreen that does not breaks me out or irritate my eyes and this was perfect. I wash my face in the morning and I put this sunscreen on. I don't need to use moisturizer since this is enough. It does leave my skin glowy which I like but not greasy. I notice even my dark spots are fading but because I do use this everyday. My skin is tan and it does not leave a white cast. I love it. If you have acne prone skin, oily and sensitive give this a try.

Finally! An SPF Hubby will wear!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've bought my husband at least a dozen SPFs--everything from drugstore to premium brands--and he won't wear any of them. He's 64 years old with oily, extremely sensitive skin (rosacea and dermatitis), and a tendency to sweat a lot in the summer heat, as he's very active. As for SPF, he hates the white cast, how heavy it feels on his skin, and how his eyes burn when he sweats and the SPF gets in them. But I keep trying. Since Eucerin was the only SPF I was able to tolerate after radiation, I tried this one for him. It's the only one he's liked. There's some white cast initially but it settles quickly. He says the lotion doesn't feel heavy, hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts, and doesn't bother his eyes either. He actually wears this one!!! I'm thrilled! Thank you, Eucerin!
