About this plant

The Swiss-cheese plant β€” fenestrated leaves that turn a dull corner into a conversation. Ships in a 6-inch nursery pot at 40–50 cm tall, already showing its first splits.

Why we stock it

  • Fenestrates reliably even in apartment light
  • Forgiving: droops to remind you, recovers overnight
Give it a moss pole by year two and watch the leaves double in size.

Care guide

Light

Bright indirect β€” an east window is ideal. Direct noon sun scorches; deep shade slows splitting.

Water

When the top 5 cm of soil is dry β€” usually weekly in summer, fortnightly in winter. Yellow lower leaves mean too much love.

Feeding

Balanced liquid feed monthly through the growing season.

Watch for

  • Mealy bugs in leaf axils β€” wipe with neem oil
  • No splits? Move it closer to the light
