This listing includes 2 Monstera deliciosa starter plants, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant. This tropical foliage plant is recognized for the distinctive splits and openings, called fenestrations, that typically develop as the foliage matures.
These are young starter plants with fully established root systems. Juvenile Monstera leaves normally do not have mature fenestrations, so the starter plants you receive may have solid, unsplit leaves. Leaf shape and fenestration change as the plant develops under suitable growing conditions.
The plants are grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation but are not fully rooted throughout the 2-inch pots. The nursery pots are NOT included. Plants are shipped bare root with the root area protected in a carefully wrapped soil pod. Please avoid unnecessarily disturbing the soil pod upon arrival.
Monstera deliciosa has a climbing growth habit and is well suited to indoor containers in bright, indirect light. Individual plants naturally vary in leaf size, leaf count, coloration, root structure, and overall appearance.
Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.
Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
Important Note:
You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
Customer Notice:
Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.
Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.
Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.
If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:
• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant
Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
Claims submitted without required photos may not be eligible for review.
Claims submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will be considered accepted as received and may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
