Monstera deliciosa

The Monstera deliciosa, commonly known as the Fruit Salad Plant or Swiss Cheese Plant, is a popular evergreen climber admired for its dramatic, glossy green leaves with natural splits and perforations. Native to Central America, this fast-growing tropical plant thrives indoors as a statement houseplant or outdoors in shaded garden areas.

How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?

All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, whether it’s traveling across the country or overseas.
