Why the Swiss Cheese Plant is Australia's most popular indoor climber
In short: The Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a resilient indoor climber that thrives in pots. This segment from Gardening Australia explores how to maintain these popular plants, including advice on when to repot them to ensure they continue to flourish.
Often celebrated as a bomb-proof choice for indoor spaces, the Monstera deliciosa is a staple in Australian homes. While these plants are hardy, they still require periodic maintenance; for instance, one featured plant had remained in the same pot for six years before receiving an upgrade.
Before introducing this climber to your home, it is important to check local regulations, as the species may be classified as an environmental weed in certain regions. This guidance comes from Gardening Australia, a long-running program featuring horticultural experts who provide practical advice for gardeners of all levels.
