Other Monstera Plants and plants similar plants

If you think Monstera deliciosa is really expensive, you can opt for its sister plant which is quite popular too.

This is a Monstera adansonii or swiss cheese plant. It’s not as big as Monstera deliciosa and also not as expensive. It also has holes on its leaves, although not as much. The price of Monstera adansonii ranges from 300 and up, depending on how big the plant is. I got mine from Halamanan sa Pasig for 350 pesos only (pot not included).

Other plants that are similar but are not part of the Monstera group is Epipremnum pinnatum or commonly known as Tibatib. Rhaphidophora tetrasperma also closely resembles a Monstera deliciosa. Philodendron bipinnatifidum or seollum is also a nice indoor plant but not as expensive.

Monstera deliciosa care and Monstera adansonii care

Monstera are tropical plants. This type of plants usually grow inside the forest, climbing a big tree. They do not like water that much as their stems are already full of water. They also do not like direct sunlight as the leaves will burn. Watering is once a week to 10 days, depending if the top soil is already dry, 2 inches deep. The best way to water this is to put water on the sides of the pot and not on the part where the plant is planted. As much as possible avoid watering the stems are. You can spray the leaves 2x a week with a solution to keep it shiny and free from infection. The solution I use is 1 L of water to 3-5 drops of dishwashing liquid, to 3-5 drops of oregano essential oil or thieves essential oil or 1 spoon of neem oil.
