Known as the 'Swiss Cheese Vine,' this climbing relative of Monstera deliciosa offers the same iconic fenestrated look in a more compact, vining form. Native to Central and South American rainforests, it naturally climbs trees seeking sunlight, developing more dramatic holes as it matures. Perfect for smaller spaces where you want that trendy Monstera look without the massive size. Give it a moss pole to climb and watch it produce increasingly impressive leaves.
