Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Monstera Broken Heart (Monstera Adansonii) is a tropical climbing plant known for its distinctive heart-shaped leaves with natural holes. Native to Central and South American rainforests, it has adapted beautifully to indoor environments in India. This plant is smaller than the Monstera Deliciosa but equally charming, with its fenestrated leaves creating a unique, artistic appearance. The holes in the leaves are natural adaptations that allow the plant to withstand heavy rainfall in its native habitat. Indoors, these features make it a conversation piece that adds exotic beauty to any space. The plant's glossy green foliage provides a refreshing contrast to home decor while maintaining a connection to nature.
Monstera Broken Heart plants thrive in bright, indirect light. An east or north-facing window is ideal as it provides gentle morning sunlight without the intensity that can scorch the leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during harsh afternoon hours, as this can cause leaf burn. The plant can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly and produce fewer leaves. In offices or rooms with limited natural light, placing it near a window with sheer curtains works well. The plant appreciates good air circulation but should be protected from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. When positioning your Monstera Broken Heart, consider that it's a climbing plant in the wild, so providing some support like a moss pole can encourage its natural growth habit.
Water your Monstera Broken Heart when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This typically means watering every 1-2 weeks, but frequency depends on factors like light, temperature, and pot size. Always water thoroughly until it runs from the drainage holes, then allow excess water to drain completely. Overwatering is the most common mistake with this plant, so it's better to underwater than overwater. The plant appreciates moderate humidity levels, which can be maintained by misting the leaves occasionally or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water. In dry indoor environments, especially during winter months when heating systems are running, a room humidifier can be beneficial. Good drainage is essential, so ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.
The Monstera Broken Heart is considered toxic to pets if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat, along with symptoms like drooling, difficulty swallowing, and vomiting. If you have curious pets or small children, it's best to place this plant out of reach. For pet owners who still want to enjoy this beautiful plant, consider hanging it from the ceiling or placing it on a high shelf where pets can't access it. While toxic, serious reactions are uncommon and typically only occur if large amounts are consumed. As a precaution, wash your hands after handling the plant, especially before touching your face or preparing food.
