PHILODENDRON MONSTERA DELICIOSA -SPLIT LEAF

The Split leaf philodendron, also called monstera deliciosa or  swiss cheese plant, is a large, popular, easy- care houseplant that is not really in the philodendron family. In Panama, and India, have big glossy heart- shaped leaves that, as the plant matures, split from the leaf edge to the center vein. These slits in the leaves are called cuts. A split leaf philodendron  grows rapidly and often has leaves that are up to 3ft. long and 2ft. wide. If you want a big, tropical, low maintenance plant, this one is perfect. The leaves, stems, and roots of a split leaf philodendron contain oxalic acid.
