Swiss Cheese Philodendron
Swiss Cheese Philodendron are known for their heart-shaped leaves that develop holes as they grow. They can grow quite large and fill a space quickly. They are popular, easy-care plants that love to climb. A close relative of the Swiss Cheese Philodendron (Monstera deliciosa) is the Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera adansonii), which tend to be smaller in size and also has leaves that develop holes as they grow. The name is often interchangeable and refers to both types of plants.

Light
Swiss Cheese Philodendrons can adjust to most lighting conditions. Although they prefer bright, indirect light, they can also adapt to low light conditions. If keeping your plant in low light, it may not develop holes as the leaves grow.
Keep your plant out of direct sunlight. The leaves will burn easily. If moving your plant outdoors for the summer, keep it in a shady location.
Water
Swiss Cheese Philodendron likes to dry out a bit between waterings. Give it a drink when the top 50% of the soil is dry. Water thoroughly and remove any standing water from the saucer below your plant.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during Spring and Summer. Swiss Cheese Philodendrons aren’t heavy feeders, so you can even reduce feedings to every other month.
Pro Tip
Your plant will continue to grow towards the light, so give it a quarter rotation each watering for more even growth.
Pro Tip
If you notice new growth is turning brown, you are over watering
