Grow your own Monstera Deliciosa "Swiss Cheese Plant" with these quality seeds! Monstera Deliciosa is a unique and visually stunning addition to any home with it's large, glossy "swiss cheese" leaves.

Instructions:

Monstera deliciosa seeds do not store well, so if not planting right away, store in sphagnum moss in a baggie in the fridge to prevent rot and drying out. Germinating fresh seeds is easy and quick, and germination rates vary from 50%-100% depending on setup and freshness of the seeds.

To plant them, you can optionally soak them in warm water for 12-24 hours prior to planting. Sow them in moist potting mix, keep them covered with a humidity dome and consistently >70F, and away from direct sunlight.

We recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 

• 12 Cavity Greenhouse or Planter with Humidity Dome
• Soil Pellets or Soil Pods 
• Liquid Fertilizer
