Monstera deliciosa Philodendron One of the most sought-after houseplants an eye-catching tropical house plant with gorgeous large, heart-shaped split leaves. Bring a naturalistic and tropical vibe with air cleaning qualities is an easy-care plant. Monstera deliciosa, aka Swiss Cheese Plant, Split-leaf Philodendron is not actually a philodendron but a woody epiphytic vine. Other epiphytic plants that grown on tree are orchids, Bromeliads, many ferns and even some cactus. This plant is native to tropical regions of North and South America and can grow as tall as the tree in climbs up. Generally when potted indoors most are found around 6 to 8 feet height. Plant needs to be supported for aerial roots to attach to and climb. Edible fruit is produced in its native habitat but not common in house plants, all other parts of the plant are toxic. First two pics are of large clump growing in 3 gal container that are ready to be placed in grown next to tree, trellis, fence or potted up and tied to post until aerial roots take hold. Listing is for single Medium Size rooted plant as shown in remaining photos. See my listing for Large size plant. Plant will be sent bare root, USPS Priority Mail, roots wrapped in paper ready for planting. Some trimming may be done for shipping purpose to fit package. Plant height will be around 16 to 20″ Remember it is an epiphytic that grows attached to trees. Leaves sometimes do not handle stress of shipping. New leaves will quickly DO NOT ORDER THIS PLANT UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH THE PLANT ARRIVING WITH DEAD LEAVES OR LOSING LEAVES AFTER IT ARRIVES. General care, can grow outdoors year round zone 10, 11, plant in well drained but moist conditions. Potted in fast drain medium of bark and peat mix with some potting soil fine.

Please review listing information and know what you are ordering. When selling more than one plant photos are similar to plant you will receive. First photo is often of flowering or mature plant, additional pics. are representative of plants you will receive as described in written listing info. Items shipped are as described and unless you receive the wrong item not as described or pictured should not be a reason to request refund. No refunds for changed mind, size, does not fit planned use, not what I expected. Must contact within one day of receiving with concern if you believe return or refund is warranted or other issue such as item missing.

I will work with you to accommodate reasonable request and resolve issues. I am a Fl. Dept. of Agriculture Certified Grower since 2008, plants are inspected. My handling time ( 5 or 10 business days ) allows for shipping most items at beginning of week, weather conditions, the pulling plants from stock including offsite greenhouse which I visit usually only once a week. Plants are prepared for shipping which includes for most a day of hydrating followed by a day to allow plants to dry. Plants like Tillandsia and Vanda orchids need to be completely dry prior to boxing. Shipping damp in a warm dark place increases chance for fungus to develop. Recommend you always do preventative treatment on any plant shipped and then water thoroughly to rehydrate. See care information from Mad Happenings and contact as soon as any concerns appear, waiting to see how plant does will not help. Please Like Mad Happenings on Facebook! Thank you for looking, Jerry
