The Monstera adansonii Node Cutting, also known as the Swiss Cheese Vine, is an excellent way to start growing this sought-after vining plant. With its iconic fenestrated leaves, this species is a favorite for tropical plant collectors and aquascaping enthusiasts.
Though not a fully aquatic plant, Monstera adansonii can grow with its node submerged in water while the leaves remain above the surface. This makes it a fantastic option for paludariums and aquariums where it can thrive emersed, absorbing excess nutrients while developing strong roots. Over time, it produces long, trailing vines, making it a beautiful and functional addition to any setup.
Features We Love:
- Excellent Nitrate Absorber: Helps remove excess nutrients when grown with roots submerged.
- Thrives in Multiple Setups: Ideal for aquariums (emersed growth), paludariums, terrariums, or as a houseplant.
- Unique Fenestrated Leaves: Develops characteristic holes as it matures.
- Fast-Growing & Hardy: Easy to propagate and establish in a variety of environments.
Care Guidelines:
- Light: Moderate to bright indirect light.
- Temperature: 65° - 85° F (18° - 29° C).
- pH Range: 6.0 - 7.5.
- Growth Rate: Fast with proper care.
- Ideal Placement: Emersed in aquariums with the node fully submerged, or grown in a terrarium, paludarium, or as a potted houseplant.
Pro Tips:
- Emersed Growth in Aquariums: Keep the node submerged while allowing the leaves to grow above water for the best results.
- Rooting Success: Place the node in clean water with good circulation to encourage root growth before planting.
- Provide Climbing Support: Use a moss pole, trellis, or driftwood to encourage upward growth.
- Maintain High Humidity: If growing in a terrarium, keep humidity above 60% for optimal development.
- Regular Pruning: Trim vines to promote bushier growth and create new propagations.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
