I personally produced these plants from cuttings.
The plant comes with a transparent plastic pot and a professional, draining, high-quality substrate . Available in multiple sizes based on the diameter of the pot, see options.





Monstera adansonii is a semi-epiphytic plant that has a climbing habit (in nature it grows anchored to trees with its roots) and benefits from a support (e.g. a pole) with sphagnum or coconut fiber. This type of Monstera, however, also adapts well as a hanging plant, but it will have smaller leaves.
You can provide support from an early age if you want to shape its growth, or you can add it when the plant has grown.
As an alternative to the sphagnum or coconut fibre pole, you can use a climbing plant trellis.
