Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf'

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' is a green Swiss cheese vine with slim climbing stems, naturally perforated leaves and quick indoor vine extension. The leaves are usually oval to softly heart-shaped, with irregular holes that form while the plant is still young. As the vine extends, each node can produce aerial roots, so the plant can climb, trail or be cut back and rooted from stem sections.

With fully green leaves, this plant usually extends quickly from its nodes and produces leaves regularly. It fills a pot well, climbs when given a pole or plank, and can be shaped into a climbing plant or a softer hanging vine depending on how the stems are guided.

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' key features

  • Growth: Fast vining aroid with flexible stems, visible nodes and aerial roots.
  • Leaves: Green Swiss cheese foliage with natural oval fenestrations.
  • Shape: Can climb on a pole or trail from a shelf, hanger or high planter.
  • Pruning: Long stems can be shortened above a node and rooted as cuttings.

Green Swiss cheese vine growth and habitat

Monstera adansonii Schott belongs to Araceae and is native across tropical America, where it grows in warm, wet forest habitats. Its climbing habit, aerial roots and relatively thin leaf blades suit filtered light, steady warmth and a root zone that stays moist but aerated.

The leaf holes are normal fenestrations, not pest damage. Their size and placement vary with maturity, support, light, nutrition and root health. A supported vine often develops larger, more closely spaced leaves than a long unsupported stem, especially once the aerial roots can press against a textured surface.

Care for the green Monstera adansonii vine

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light. Gentle morning or late afternoon sun can work after acclimation, but hot midday sun can scorch the thinner leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the upper half of the pot has dried. Even moisture reduces drooping and crisping while air still moves through the root zone.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco fibre, perlite, pumice or similar mineral structure.
  • Temperature: Keep around 18–27 °C. Cold windowsills and wet winter substrate can quickly damage roots.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated, while 50–70% helps new leaves expand smoothly.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank or trellis for larger leaves and a more vertical plant.
  • Feeding: Feed after pruning or during fast vine extension so new nodes have fresh nutrients; ease off when growth slows.
  • Propagation: Use stem cuttings with at least one node. A leaf alone cannot restart the vine.
  • Repotting: Move up when the pot dries quickly because roots have filled it, and refresh tired mix around the fast-running stems.

Common Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' problems

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the pot is staying wet too long, especially in cool conditions. Let more of the mix dry and improve aeration if needed.
  • Long bare gaps: The vine may need brighter indirect light or a support. Stretching usually shows between the nodes first.
  • Crispy edges: Review watering gaps, dry indoor air, fertiliser build-up and direct sun exposure.
  • Dark soft patches: Inspect roots if the substrate smells sour or remains wet for many days. Cold, wet roots are a common cause.
  • Marked new leaves: Check fresh growth, nodes and leaf undersides for thrips, mites, scale or mealybugs.

Pet and child safety

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' should not be chewed by pets or children. Its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and digestive tract. Keep cut stems and fallen leaves out of reach, and wash hands after heavy pruning.

Botanical name and meaning

Monstera adansonii Schott is an accepted species in Araceae and was first published in 1830. The genus name Monstera is linked with unusual leaf forms in the group, while adansonii honours French botanist Michel Adanson.

Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Leaf' stays close to the classic green Swiss cheese vine: fast nodes, natural leaf holes and stems that can climb or trail.

Sleek looking and feeling wrist rest
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Slim
5 Year Update: it finally had a tear on the corner and you can feel the gooey adhesive-like gel peak its way out. Not exactly sure how it happened. Could be my sharp nails or i may have grazed it with a box cutter while opening some packages. Keep sharp objects away from the pad! For now, i've put some clear tape over it to see how that holds. Still very useable. I got the slim one and it looks and feels great. It has a classy executive look to it and my wrists glide easily across it which is surprising since it's made out of some kind of vinyl/rubbery texture. It has a leather grain on it which actually feels similar to faux-leather. It looks as if it would be very easy to clean off if you get dirt and oil on it. That being said, my 3 caveats are: 1) it needs to be about 1 cm wider for full coverage on a standard 101 keyboard 2) I wish the size of the pad was the same all throughout the length, so that the wrist will have more to rest on when using the numpad 3) It could be squishier/ be more cushiony. It's actually quite stiff for a gel pad. It feels almost like you're resting your wrist on a leather bound book but with a thin layer of padding on it. This could be because its the slim version since there is less gel material. I would imagine the regular thickness version will be better cushioned. Overall, its a great pad and would fit right in on an executive desk because its understated and has a very leathery look and feel to it. Much classier than most gaming focused wrist rests and the price is right.

Comfortable wrist rest for intense use
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Mechanical & Gaming, Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Mechanical & Gaming
- You don't have to own a mechanical keyboard to grab one of these bad boys. It's suitable for any full size keyboard. - This is ergonomic and really targeting gamers. The left side of the wrist rest offers more cushion for those wasd key strokes. While the right side is much smaller vs other wrist rests Kensington offers so it won't take too much desk space. So it's quite office friendly. - Huge value for money. About $7 bucks cheaper vs the standard keyboard. - Vegan leather exterior. This is the one thing that made me buy the wrist rest. As you can see from my picture, my old wrist rest is made of fabric material. They easily build up slime and all that yuckiness when you type for long period of time. It's so hard to clean up. The leather material is just one wipe away. - Super soft and comfortable. My old wrist rest is hardened memory foam. It's not deformed after years or using, which I appreciate. But it doesn't provide much comfort vs this gel pad wrist rest. I'm so happy I made the switch and bought this. - For whoever said this is stiff or firm for their taste, they obviously haven't used other memory foam wrist rests before. So if you want soft, but not too squishy wrist rest, look expensive for office use, or survive abuse for home use, look no further.

Great except for the bottom
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Slim
Kensington stuff is always good. I’ve been using it for over two decades. This wrist rest seemed like the best choice for my Apple Magic Keyboard. And it probably is. My complaint is the bottom. It’s made with the assumption you want it in a fixed location on your desk, so the underside is sticky. On the other hand, if you don’t want to leave it stationary, the white backing paper is too slippery. I’d have MUCH preferred a textured rubber underside that helps it stay in place than this. Also, it’s really really black. If you have dandruff, you’re going to notice it falling on here.

Desk Hoteling: Portable Comfort
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Slim & Compact
New to the desk hoteling scene, I’ve had to find easily transportable ways to increase my comfort level. This has survived multiple backpack edits, which says a ton about this little wrist rest. I love that it is not cloth so I can wipe it down at the end of the day, but it doesn’t stick to your skin. It is the perfect size and thickness for my use. It wasn’t cheap, but it is holding up very well even with the constant travel. This is worth the extra bulk in the laptop backpack.
