Item Lore
The Monstera deliciosa is native to the tropical forests of southern Mexico and Central America, where it uses its iconic fenestrated leaves to allow sunlight to reach lower foliage. Prized by indoor gardeners for its dramatic architectural shape, the plant has become a staple of modern interior design since its introduction to global cultivation in the late 19th century.
