Monstera Swiss Cheese Plant
£14.00 Inclusive VAT
The Swiss Cheese Plant has impressive green foliage which is akin to that of a rainforest.
The Monstera Deliciosa will reach an ultimate height of 4-8m and an ultimate spread of 1.5-2.5m. Looking after the Deliciosa is quite simple – mist the plant once or twice a week. Water it when the top soil is dry to touch. Decorative pot not included.

Beautiful
This plant is beautiful it was a little dehydrated and feeling a little sorry for its self when it arrived but it soon sprang to life once it had a drink a stretch and some sun light 100% recommended without a doubt Thank you

Amazing
I was dubious about buying a plant online but this one has turned out pretty amazing. It arrived well packaged. I put it in a 22cm pot and it’s just flourished for months. I only yesterday got a grow light because I have to move where the plant is but the picture is of its growth. I think when it arrived it had five leaves and now it’s on fourteen. Very happy. Would buy from this selle again.

Great healthy plant.
Great healthy plant. This monstera arrived well packaged, unfortunately one of the more juvenile leaves broke off during transit, but that did not at all detract from the healthyness of the plant. This monstera has 4 growth points and has given me 3 new leaves (all of which are currently unfurling) since I got it and I am very impressed. I opted to buy a smaller/younger plant as 1. They are cheaper, and 2. I enjoy seeing them grow and thrive in my care. None of my leaves have any fenstrations yet, but that will come as the plant develops.Not the cheapest option for a plant of this size, but much healthier than plants I’ve seen in garden centres.

Nice plants only a little bit too small
I ordered 3 different plantsThey arrived in the same small cartoon box (I still don’t know how didn’t they squeezed them into it!)The leafs were ok and they plants them self looked okI’m just disappointed I little bit on the actual dimensions of them. I was expecting a little bit bigger that that

Beautiful indoor plant
I am absolutely delighted with my monster plant. I was a bit worried, as I had never brought a plant online before.Packed really well, delivered before date.A lovely looking, healthy plant, that is now thriving.Definitely worth the money. Very happy.

Very happy with this plant.
Plant very well packed. Repotted after a couple of days as potbound but it’s a very healthy plant. Will order again from this company.

lovely healthy plant
I was a bit unsure of using Amazon for the delivery of plants but, wow! I bought this one a 3 others from same seller. The small box that arrived looked too small for 4 plants – but how wrong I was, they were perfectly tucked together and once removed from box and packaging they were undamaged, healthly plants. The picture is of one of them after it had a few hours to recover from it’s journey. Chuffed to bits with them. Would definitely buy from this seller again.

Ok
A few leaves were damaged and snapped in transit which is unfortunate, however Iv had this plant a few months now and has grew a few more leaves and ready to be repotted so happy with my purchase.

Beautiful, Healthy Plant, Well Packed
The Monstera I received was about 11″ tall jwith an overall height to include the pot of around 16″. It was well – but not over- watered, with a small amount of root appearing through the bottom, showing it was well-rooted. The plant is vibrantly green and healthy, a young plant with about six good sized leaves plus some smaller ones. It came in a good sturdy box, nicely secure. Despatch was very fast. I have no hesitation in recommending this plant and, on the basis of this transaction, this company.

cheese plant
the plants was on there side spillage of soil in box not well packaged at all and very dry the roots were out of the bottom of the plant {rootbound } had to transfer into another pot you will have to separate ititem is thick in 1 area and so thin on the other side which makes it look messy

Not what I expected
I received it well and carefully packaged, however, at first I thought I got the wrong plant.While it is a monstera, it didn’t receive enough light and therefore lack of slits on any of the leaves!There were no insects on the plants or in soil so that’s a big plus.Still decided to keep it and nurture it to how it’s suppose to look like healthy with light, but keep in mind when buying you might not receive a monstera like the photos advertised.

not as advertised
the plant did not come as the picture displayed, it appears to be a different plant? other than that, the plant came with lots of soil & was well packaged, it’s just disappointing i didn’t get the plant advertised.
Cut_tothechase –
A solid okay
Firstly, I think a number of the reviews for this plant are overhyped for whatever reason. The advertised photo is such a fantasy it’s laughable.Nothing special. Leaves torn and brown from being bent and creased into a box with two other plants. However arrived in good health. I’m fairly underwhelmed and I wouldn’t recommend this plant. I also wouldn’t say don’t bother.If you can’t get to the shops it’s a worthwhile purchase. Just don’t kid yourself you’ll get anything near as good as the plant in the advertised picture though.

It’s amazing but has started sprouting new growth that doesn’t look right I was wondering if this is normal or if I should pull it out?

Lovely plant
Very pleased. Came well packed. Good healthy plant. Well worth the money. I bought it a few months ago & it’s still going strong looks lovely. Would recommend.

Have the next size pot ready and compost!
This plant is lovely. It arrived fast and is growing quickly. It wasn’t packaged particularly well and was laid down flat on its side beneath another plant so it was pretty bent out of shape when I got it. It was also pot bound and had both aerial roots and roots growing through the drainage holes. So if you order, have extra pots and compost just in case. After two days though, it really came to life and is growing fast! So overall happy. And it was more affordable then other places I usually use that hand deliver so I guess I shouldn’t complain.

Needs repotting straight away.
Came in a smaller pot, some leaves were looking poor and one was curled up. So I’ve repotted it and now seems to be picking up. Not to bad.

Be mindful of the roots of your new plants!
I bought this plant just over a month ago and a half ago! When I first received him I noticed he was slightly overwatered causing him to sweat a lot (which I presumed was to prevent him from drying out during transit). I waited around 2 and half weeks before watering him, to help the soil dry out along with a few airation holes to help the process. I noticed last week one of his leaves decayed and was quite mushy, along with a newer leaf that was yet to unravel yet had also started decaying! So I decided to take a better look at his roots and found that he had severe root rot with some white fungus in the body of his mushy roots! I’ve tried to save as much roots as I can in the hopes that he’ll be able to regrow! Please be mindful when buying your plants and try to check their roots upon receiving them! You may be able to prevent things like root rot sooner! I’ve included some images of the signs of decay and the roots he had left!

All in all great value and very healthy!
Best value I could find in the UK. I potted mine on after giving it a few days to settle from the transport. One leaf is creased and bruised a bit from the transport but it should be ok. For potting on I used a mix of standard multi-purpose, sand and clay pebbles as it is said that they like well drained soil that doesn’t get soggy.

cutie
I love plants and this one is no exception, it’s a great addition to my collection and a good size. it came super fast but in a box that was too small, the plant itself was not secure in the pot, with roots out of the soil and yeah, not too great there, it also does not come with the cement pot shown like it’s made to seem, which was disappointing
Jessica B. –
Nice healthy plant, but smaller than anticipated
The plant was carefully packaged, but it was a lot smaller than I aticipated it being, it looks bigger, or sounds bigger from the description so I’m not sure whether its that good value for money. Other than that all the leaves are healthy and the plant is in good condition.

Good plant, slight damage
It’s to be expected that when you order online you may have some damage. The plant was packaged fine apart from two leaves which were bent. I, however, think the damage was caused by the postman was not gentle with the package and handed it to me upside down.The plant is healthy and is already pushing out some new growth!

Plant in a parcel.
I was worried that a plant sent in a parcel would be nearly dead on arrival but it arrived in good condition and its doing fine now. None the worse for its ordeal.

Give it a couple of months..
Was a bit wary,buying a plant from Amazon.And when I opened the box and saw the sorry looking contents inside.my fear’s seemed tobe justified,But a month down the line it’s about three times the size and healthy and taking over the bathroom.whilst I’m on here l would like to say a big thank you to Amazon and all their drivers and warehouse staff!!!Not once have they failed to deliver!!Very impressive,considering the challenges of the last 12 months!!!

Great quality plant that was looked after in transit
Each individual plant is different so that is always something to be aware of but this Monstera is doing really well – thank you very much!

Medium size plant not as pictured
Lovely plant but definitely not full looking as shown in the photo. Has about 5 leaves (2 larger & 3 small leaves) and arrived in a tiny pot. Irritating to have to buy a larger pot & more soil as soon as you buy it, plus it is not a full looking plant as pictured. Why get this simple part wrong? We would have purchased more plants but it’s just not worth doing it this way.
Joleisa –
Perfect plant
I like that the plant arrived well packaged and really pretty. It was clear that there were young leaves ready to unfurl. Its been about 2 months since I’ve bought it and it is doing so well. I need to repot it and also I’m sure there’s more than one root in there. My sister is also very happy with it. I bought it as a gift from her. It’s kept in an area where there’s partial shade and partial sunlight, so I keep rotating it. Love it.

Fabulous plant
I was little sceptical buying a plant FROM amazon then when I compared the price of this cheese plant compared to our local garden centre it was less than half price so I wasn’t expecting alot to be honest but thought for the price I’ll give it a whirl. We’ll I didn’t need to be sceptical at all the plant arrived perfectly wrapped for protection through the post, the plant it self was lovely and has grown so so well its at least three times the size it was when it arrived in a matter of week. The plant is really good quality and I have not hinging but good things to say. I’d definitely recommend and will certainly use this company again. Finger crossed they’ll take part in some of the amazon sale days again soon too

Does not look like the picture
I was a bit surprised when I received my plant that it literally had 4 leafs of it. The picture that describes this listing looks nothing like what was received. NOTHING!I did debate sending this back to be honest as I probably could have got a better plant elsewhere for a similar or better cost.It was also exceptionally dry and wilted when it arrived – so much so it couldn’t stand up without being propped up. It definitely needs repotting immediately as well as it’s roots are overflowingHowever, good points – I have kept it, (simply because I just couldn’t be bothered to send it back) and I gave it a good watering and it has perked up really well, and is now supporting its own weight – it is a healthy plant and looks nice… just nothing like the image

Lovely plant, comes packaged well but DRY water well!
I was a little skeptical about buying a plant online, but I guess it’s the new normal as most places are closed now. The packaging was okay and the plant itself was decent, although I have to say it was VERY dry and needed watering immediately. One of the leaves was damaged but in general the condition was okay. I would recommend but it may need more attention than one you’d purchase at nursery. I’ve uploaded pics from arrival and also now, I wanted to wait a little before I posted a review. It is flourishing now and showing new leaves.

Not a monstera deliciosa
Misleading!Item for sale is monstera deliciosa and i received a monstera adansonii.The one i received doesnt have the characteristic leaf gaps. I was wanting to have a swiss cheese plant with the iconic leaf and being a novice i thought the plant was young and it would develop them.Having said that i did receive a healthy looking attractive plant.
Ryan L –
Really mature!
When this first arrived, I thought the plant was in trouble. One of the leaves had snapped off and the others were looking in desperate need of care (probably because they had been inside a panic for a few days and had been chucked around on vans)Once I had unpacked it, and watered it, within a couple of days the leaves perked up, and new growth had started already. Over the first 2 weeks I had new leaves popping up left right and centre. The last 2 leaves to sprout had fenestrations. So within 3 weeks I had two fenestrated leaves on my monsteras that I had only just received! I was pretty impressed!Recommend tenfold if you don’t want to wait years for a mature monstera

Another great delivery from Gardeners Dream
I have ordered from Gardeners Dream in the past and was very happy, so I knew who I wanted to buy a plant online from.The monstera was well packaged, arrived looking healthy even considering that the temperature at the time of writing is still quite cold.I’m looking forward to seeing how it grows as it gets warmer.(Red pot is my own)

Plant arrived well packed a healthy looking plant with both established leaves and plenty of new leaves coming through.

Not the best experience
The plant itself was beautiful and quite mature for my expectations as a new leaf with fenestrations was just about to unfurl.Unfortunately though, the plant was very poorly delivered. The big leaf with splits was damaged as well as other leaves with brown spots.Over the course of the 1st week I’ve held up on watering to let her assesta and monitored her health and I would find her dropping water every morning, which led me to believe it was also overwatered.I then decided to repot with new soil and I was shocked to see the amount of root rot the poor plant had. Most of the roots were black and mushy, just coming off as soon as I touched them, didn’t even need scissors.With a little TLC the plant seemed to have perked up a little now, it’s growing nicely and I can already see a new leaf coming.This is not the 1st plant I get from this seller, I also got a peace lily which was infested mealy bugs and a strelitzia reginae (bird of paradise) which is extremely root bound with roots coming out from drainage holes and top soil. In addition to that, a bunch of the lower leaves have been cut by the seller, probably to hide some browning.I’m not particularly happy so far, the prices are competitive as for the same price you can get them in better conditions and health from more reputable sellers.I gave it more chances as I thought the first plants were a one off, but every single time I was not able to enjoy the plant from the very first time as it was never healthy.If you really want to order from them, I highly recommend the succulents and cacti. Again they were delivered quite poorly with soil everywhere, but we’re very healthy and to my delight a bunch of them have also flowered.

Arrived healthy but has some issues
I ordered this plant to arrive with another plant from the same company- the other plant had a mild fungus gnat infestation, so shortly after this plant arrived it also had some fungus gnat larvae crawling around in the soil too. I didn’t have too much difficulty in getting rid of these with some houseplant pesticides and sticky traps so I didn’t find it to be a huge problem, but it is worth noting.The soil on this plant arrived very moist and the plant did have a completely yellow leaf which I have since removed, but the roots don’t appear to be rotten at all. I would suggest letting the soil dry out when it arrives rather than just watering it straight away. I did also note that due to the moist soil, this plant has grown a mushroom in it’s pot too which isn’t exactly desirable and does tell me that this soil that it is planted in is probably not draining as well as it should be.The plant itself is very young, and the leaves are still very small and all bar one doesn’t have any leaf fenestrations as of yet. The one leaf that does have some holes did actually break during shipping which is unfortunate.For the price of this monstera, I think I expected a little bit better but I am happy that the plant is healthy and alive.

This plant adds tropic vibes in any place you put this
Its been a year since I bought this plant. It is super low maintenance that you can just put it anywhere even without direct sunlight and it will thrive. So now, one year has passed , its been growing rapidly that I had to do something, so I propagated it to two cuttings and had placed a stick on my main plant to brace and form the stems as it is too bent , I suppose its because the plant is growing to the direction of the sun.You can find cheaper and bigger Monstera for the price but the seller is quite good at dealing with complaints and shipping. So, support them !!

Potted Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss Cheese Plant)
The plant I received didn’t initially look as good as the one on the photo; there being a few small leaves without the splits in them and one very tall stalk with a large leaf full of the signature splits. However, the plant was healthy & soon recovered from its journey once I had repotted it into a more suitable sized pot. Then a 2nd leaf unfurled and grew large & was full of the recognised splits. So I am very happy with my plant.

June 2020 – March 22
I bought this back in June 2022 and it is my little baby!!!! It has grown so much and I adore this plant! I never leave reviews but this is the one thing I am soooooo happy I purchased because it has flourished and kept growing and continues to do so. It truly makes my room a great space and it is the best statement piece! It has survived through all seasons and all conditions, sometimes i forget to water it but it looks after itself 🙂 and is just perfect!!!

Small but nice plant
Arrived in a small box with a couple of other plants. It was smaller than the size stated, indeed family members took the Mik out me for purchasing half sized plants. However it was in great condition and well packaged, within a couple of months we have already had to repot it twice. It’s is growing rapidly.

Monstera
I ordered the monstera along with three other plants. The packaging seemed good although a tad crammed. However I noticed right away that there where bugs flying around the monstera, and then in my room ( I think they were fungus gnats). I have managed to get that under control now after buying bug traps and a spray. However now the issue is the black dots that I thought where just bruises from travel are starting to spread, they increase every day. These photos where taken about a week ago and now almost all the leaves have them. Not sure if this is something that will clear up itself or the plant is dying. I have contacted the seller and they have been very helpful and polite, and asked me to upload photos of the plant.

A healthy baby monster
Purchased purely due to it being an Amazon recommendation, and having some good reviews.This is not as bushy as the picture. It is a baby. Mine came well packaged. The box was sturdy and clearly labelled with care for instructions for the post man who can be clumsy.The box had lots of paper to protect the baby plant.Mine had a good, sturdy root system and it needs repotting. The soil was airy and moist.On mine most of the leaves are baby leaves with no holes in, one leaf has a split in it.If your after a mature plant, then this isn’t for you.If you can look after and nurture it and keep it in a place where it is happy, then this is for you.But be warned, if your baby isn’t happy then they die very fast. I talk from bitter experience.

Healthy but badly packaged
The plant itself is very healthy and I’m very happy with it. The packaging however wasn’t very good. I’ve ordered many plants online but this is the worst I’ve seen (which isn’t necessarily the end of the world, I just have high standards) the soil was all over the box and the plant looked like it had taken a bit of a beating. Other than that im sure this plant will thrive as its a very healthy young plant.

My Monstera is doing really well
I ordered about 7 plants from this supplier. Some weren’t great and the supplier has kindly tried to resolve. The package they were sent it didn’t help the condition of any of the plants, however my Monstera is doing amazing. I re-potted straight away and redirected its aerial roots, it looks as though it is super happy and growing well. I do want to thank the supplier for working during lockdown. They kept to the deliver schedule and also were there to help with the issues i had.

Not worth the money
i ordered this plant as a ‘backup’ to not finding one in a plant shop i like for the price it is not worth the money i ended up finding another one of these plants for £20 that was 3X the size this price should be around £8 for the small size it is…Other than that the plant was delivered healthy

Lovely plant, some “scars”
I bought 2 plants from the same seller and they came earlier than expected but in the same box so they were kinda squeezed. The plant is awesome but it has some scars on some leaves and one had a brown mark that grew bigger. I will repot it soon but overall it looks pretty and it has a lot of new leaves. Maybe some caring recommendations coming with the plant would be useful

Average Swiss Cheese plant
Whilst quite healthy plant, didn’t quite resemble the plant as depicted in the ad. Hope it will bush out after a bit of tlc!
