Costa Farms Monstera Deliciosa, sometimes also called Swiss Cheese Plant or Split-Leaf Philodendron (even though it's not a Philodendron), this plant features large, heart-shaped leaves with stunning cuts. It can climb 10 ft. or more over time as it matures. Monstera may be the perfect houseplant for you if you're looking to create a big, bold, tropical feel in your home. While young, this houseplant has a dense, bushy shape, but as it grows, it wants to vine out. You can keep it bushy with regular pruning or let it climb up a vertical support (such as fishing line fastened into the ceiling), for a decidedly bold and tropical look. Not only are Monsteras striking, they help purify the air by removing unhealthy organic compounds.
