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 Deliciosa is a tropical climbing plant native to the rainforests of southern Mexico. It belongs to the Araceae family and is famous for its large, glossy leaves that develop distinctive splits and holes as they mature—a process called fenestration. In the wild, this plant uses its aerial roots to climb trees, reaching for sunlight. Indoors, it can grow into a impressive specimen with proper care. The Monstera is often called the Swiss Cheese Plant due to its unique leaf pattern. It's a relatively fast grower and can adapt well to indoor environments, making it a popular choice for homes and offices in India. Its bold foliage adds a tropical, luxurious feel to any space, and it's often used as a statement piece in interior design.
Monstera Deliciosa thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, causing brown patches or yellowing. The ideal placement is near an east or north-facing window where the plant gets gentle morning light or filtered light throughout the day. In rooms with lower light, the plant may grow slower, and its leaves may not develop the characteristic splits as readily. Avoid placing it in dark corners, as this can lead to leggy growth and smaller leaves. The Monstera is versatile and can adapt to a range of indoor conditions, but consistent, moderate light will help it look its best. It's an excellent choice for living rooms, offices, or bedrooms with bright, indirect light.
Watering your Monstera Deliciosa correctly is key to keeping it healthy. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering is a common mistake that can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater than to overwater. The plant prefers well-draining soil that doesn't retain too much moisture. In the warmer months, you may need to water more frequently, while in cooler months, the soil will take longer to dry. Monstera plants enjoy moderate humidity, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing the plant near a humidifier can help, especially in dry indoor environments. Good air circulation is also beneficial, so avoid placing the plant in stuffy corners.
It's important to note that Monstera Deliciosa is toxic to pets if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation, drooling, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing in cats and dogs. If you have curious pets, it's best to place the Monstera in a location they can't access, such as a high shelf or a room with a closed door. While the plant is safe for humans to handle (the sap may cause mild skin irritation), keep it out of reach of children and pets to avoid any potential issues. If you're concerned about pet safety, consider placing the plant in a hanging basket or using a decorative cover to deter pets from chewing on the leaves.
