Monstera Broken Heart Plant

The Broken Heart Plant, sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Philodendron Broken Heart, is the smaller cousin of the large leaved Monstera Deliciosa, and as prized in the collection of every plant parent. You can commonly find pictures of the Monstera leaf printed on pillows, framed on walls and even hanging solo in a glass vases, as they can be grown hydroponically. The peacock feathers of this beauty are the fenestrations (read - holes) in its massive air purifying leaves. These holes are reason its also called the Swiss Cheese Plant or the Hurricane Plant (wind can blow through without tearing the leaves). This creeper vine loves to climb walls, up trellises, or hang out from baskets. Buy Broken Heart plants online from Root Bridges and show them off as the prized possessions they are.
