4-Inch Swiss Cheese Plant + Black BASEL 4.7-Inch Planter Bundle

Swiss Cheese Plant & Black BASEL Planter Bundle pairs the naturally perforated green leaves of Monstera adansonii with a black 4.7-inch BASEL planter. The dark planter sets off the leaf shapes for a simple indoor accent. Let its vines trail as they grow, or provide a climbing support.

Points of interest

• Distinctive oval leaves develop natural holes, called fenestrations; each leaf has its own pattern.
• A tropical vine suited to trailing or climbing with support.
• The black BASEL 4.7-inch planter is included in this bundle, not a separately priced styling accessory.

Current size and what ships

Includes one live Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera adansonii) grown in a 4-inch nursery pot and one black BASEL 4.7-inch planter. The 4-inch measurement refers to the nursery pot diameter, not plant height. Height, vine length, fullness and leaf perforations vary naturally. The plant and decorative planter may be packed separately for shipping protection.

Estimated mature size

Indoor vines can grow several feet long over time. Mature size and leaf development depend on light, care, root space and climbing support. Prune as needed to maintain a compact display.

Care guide

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun that can scorch foliage. Low light slows growth and may reduce leaf development.

Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of potting mix feel dry. Water thoroughly through the nursery pot's drainage holes, let it drain fully, and return it to the BASEL planter. Empty collected water so roots never sit in standing water. Adjust watering to conditions rather than a fixed schedule.

Soil and drainage: Use a loose, well-draining houseplant mix in a draining inner pot. Additional soil is sold separately. Check inside the decorative planter after every watering.

Temperature: A warm indoor location around 65–85°F suits this tropical plant. Protect it from frost, cold drafts and hot or cold vents.

Humidity: Moderate to higher indoor humidity is helpful. In very dry rooms, consider a humidifier while maintaining good airflow.

Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth according to the fertilizer label. Avoid feeding a stressed or very dry plant, and reduce feeding as growth slows. Our Slow-Release Fertilizer is optional, sold separately and not included.

Training and pruning: Allow vines to trail or provide a suitable pole or trellis, sold separately. Prune leggy stems just above a node using clean scissors. Rotate periodically for balanced growth.

Routine care: Wipe dusty leaves gently and inspect regularly for pests. Allow the plant to acclimate after shipping. Repot into a slightly larger draining container when roots crowd the pot.

Pet safety: Monstera adansonii contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if chewed by cats or dogs. Keep away from pets and children.
