About the plant:
Monstera skvostná (lovely) or Monstera deliciosa is a climbing plant from the Aronaceae family. It comes from the tropical forests of Central and South America. In its homeland, it grows up to 12 meters as a creeper, crawls along the ground and along trunks and sends out many aerial roots. It is most typically used as an ornamental plant, it can also be grown for its fruits - they are called ceriman. They are green in color, cylindrical in shape and resemble green pine cones. They contain sweet flesh and a lot of vitamin C, and are sold as table fruit in indigenous markets.

Indoor monstera is characterized by its carved leaves. These typical holes are only formed during the life of the plant, the small leaves are not perforated. In good conditions, this room plant can grow to a height of 3 meters, a single leaf can be up to half a meter when mature.

Monstera Deliciosa Bush differs from the classic Monstera Deliciosa in its more compact growth and denser, "bushy" appearance. Unlike the classic Monstera, which grows vertically and produces long stems, the Monstera Deliciosa Bush stays smaller and grows wider.
