Swiss cheese plant 'Monstera 'Tauerii''

The plant should be watered well during the hotter months of the year, but be kept considerably drier during winter. Mature palnts can briefly withstand temperatures down to -1 deg C, but prolonged exposure for more than a few hours will cause damage.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys dappled sun and remember to water often. Monstera 'Tauerii' is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures.

Monstera 'Tauerii' is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

The fruit takes 12 to 18 months to ripen on the vine. As the fruit matures it will turn from a bright green to a more yellowish shade. It is ready to eat only when the scaley outer skin starts to peel back and falls naturally from the inner flesh. Prior to this the levels of oxalic acid contained in the fruit are too high and it must not be eaten.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid summer.
