Monstera deliciosa
Indoor houseplant with large and leathery leaves. Young plants have leaves that are smaller with no lobes (holes), but as they mature the holes will become apparent. The breadfruit produced by this plant tastes like exotic fruits. Very easy-care house plant requiring minimal maintenance. Water when the top 2-3cm of soil has dried out. When watering, give your plant a thorough soaking, do not leave your Monstera sitting in any water that has accumulated in the saucer. Filtered indirect but bright light.
