Native to the rainforests of Central America, the big, bold Monstera deliciosa is also known as the split-leaf philodendron. This is because its naturally glossy heart-shaped leaves have a characteristic split. This easy-growing, climbing evergreen is valued in many designer spaces for its “Wow!” factor. Indoors, the plant has a moderate growth rate and can grow in height by about 1 to 2 feet per year.
