What arrives: your plant, rooted in soil in its 4" nursery pot. Pot size is the pot's diameter, not the plant's height — a larger pot generally means an older, larger plant. Live plants vary in height, fullness and leaf count.

Monstera 'Split-Leaf' (Monstera deliciosa) develops larger, split leaves as it matures. Give it bright, indirect light and room to climb. Young plants may arrive with unsplit leaves — the splits come with age, light and something to climb.
Why choose Monstera 'Split-Leaf'
Few houseplants change as dramatically as a Monstera: once it has a moss pole and bright, indirect light, each new leaf comes in larger and more fenestrated than the last. It is a forgiving climber for a bright living-room corner or beside an east window, and stem cuttings root easily if you want to share it.
What you receive
- One live Monstera 'Split-Leaf', rooted in soil in the nursery pot size you select above.
- Nursery pot and soil included; a Cow Pot, Eco Pot or Cylinder planter only if you select one.
- Smaller sizes are young plants and may arrive with few or no splits; larger sizes are older plants with more fenestrated leaves. Height varies with the plant and season — we do not publish measured shipping heights.
Will it suit your home?
- Botanical name: Monstera deliciosa
- Light: Bright to medium, indirect; no harsh direct sun
- Water: when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
- Difficulty: Beginner-friendly to moderate.
- Growth style: Climbing/vining tropical aroid.
- Mature size: Can grow large or long over time, especially with support — can vary by growing conditions.
- Pet safety: Not pet-safe — toxic to cats and dogs if chewed. Keep out of reach of pets.
Good fit: Philodendron and aroid fans · Bright, indirect-light spots · People who enjoy watching a plant grow and mature · Statement-foliage lovers · Beginners ready for an easygoing climber.
Think twice if: Homes where pets may chew leaves — it is toxic to cats and dogs · Very dark rooms · Anyone who tends to overwater plants · Shoppers wanting a compact plant that stays small.
Delivery and arrival help
- Ships free within the continental U.S. from a greenhouse in Florida or California, carefully packed in its nursery pot with soil.
- Dispatched within 1–4 business days, Monday to Wednesday so plants don't sit in transit over a weekend; standard transit is typically 3–7 business days after that.
- Heat packs are not included automatically: in cold weather (below about 45°F at the destination) add Winter Plant Shipping Protection to your order, and in extreme cold or heat we may hold the order until it is safe to ship — we will let you know.
- If it arrives dead, severely damaged, or significantly different from the description, email photos of the plant and packaging to info@shopfloridaplant.com within 48 hours of delivery for a full refund or a free replacement (refund policy).
- Give your plant a few days to settle in; minor cosmetic marks from transit are normal.
Care and common questions
- Light: Bright, indirect light keeps Monstera 'Split-Leaf' looking its best, but it can tolerate medium indirect light. In lower light it grows more slowly and leaves may show fewer splits. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — it likes to dry out a bit between waterings rather than stay soggy. Empty any saucer so the roots don't sit in water.
- Humidity: Loves higher humidity as a tropical aroid, but adapts to normal household humidity; extra humidity supports bigger, more fenestrated leaves.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (roughly 65–85°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and heating or AC vents.
- Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix (potting soil with bark and perlite) in a pot with drainage.
- Support: Give it a moss pole or trellis to climb — climbing encourages larger, more mature leaves.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Pruning: Trim to shape anytime; stem cuttings with a node root easily in water.
- Care tip: If leaves stay small or sparse, give it more bright indirect light and a pole to climb.

Why isn't my Monstera 'Split-Leaf' making splits or holes yet?
Fenestrations come with maturity, bright indirect light, and something to climb — young plants and low light mean fewer splits. Add a moss pole and more bright indirect light.
