The Fruit Salad Plant, also known as Monstera Deliciosa, is a popular houseplant celebrated for its large, striking leaves and even edible fruit. This plant adds a lively touch to any room and may even help create a relaxing atmosphere. Its nickname, "Swiss cheese plant," comes from the distinctive holes or "eyes" that develop in the leaves, resembling the holes in Swiss cheese.

The scent of its edible fruit is often compared to a blend of pineapples and bananas. When you first bring it home, give it a thorough watering, then monitor the soil moisture to keep on top of your watering schedule.
