Monstera Deliciosa Split-Leaf Philodendron Live Swiss Cheese Plant in 9.25 inch Grower Pot

Thank you for your question! A standard 1-gallon nursery pot is typically about 6.5 to 7 inches in diameter and approximately 6.5 to 7 inches tall, though exact dimensions can vary slightly by grower. The Monstera Deliciosa in this listing is shipped in a 9.25-inch grower pot, which is significantly larger than a standard 1-gallon pot. If you have any other questions about the plant or its size, please feel free to contact us at questions@unitednursery.com so we can assist you further. 🌿

Thank you for your question! Yes, the Monstera deliciosa is considered toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause mouth irritation, swelling, drooling, or stomach upset. We recommend keeping it out of reach of small children and pets. Best, United Nursery

Thank you for your question! The Monstera Deliciosa in a 10-inch pot can be replanted into a pot that’s about 2–3 inches larger in diameter (around 12–13 inches wide). Make sure the new pot has good drainage and use a well-aerated mix — such as soil made for tropical or aroid plants. Avoid oversizing the pot too much, as that can cause the soil to stay wet longer and lead to root rot.

Hello, Thank you for your question! Our Monstera deliciosa arrives in a standard nursery soil mix. This mix is designed to provide a balance of moisture retention and drainage so the plant stays healthy during its time at the nursery and while traveling to you. You don’t need to repot immediately unless the plant is rootbound or you prefer a decorative container. If you do repot, Monsteras thrive in a well-draining chunky mix—something with potting soil, orchid bark, perlite or pumice, and a bit of peat or coco coir. This type of soil keeps the roots healthy and helps prevent overwatering. With the right light, water, and humidity, your Monstera should adjust beautifully! Best regards, United Nursery

Right now they're measuring between 24-26 inches tall including the pot, thank you!

Thank you for your question! Our Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera adansonii) comes in a grower pot with drainage holes, which is placed inside the white decorative pot (without holes). This setup allows you to easily remove the grower pot when watering, let the excess water drain completely, and then return it to the decorative pot—helping to prevent overwatering and mess in your home. ✅ Do You Need to Repot? There’s no need to repot immediately unless the plant is rootbound or you prefer a different soil mix. When you're ready to repot, be sure to choose a pot with drainage holes and use a well-draining, chunky soil mix suitable for Monsteras.

✅ You can keep it in its original pot if: The plant looks healthy. Roots aren't growing out of the drainage holes. Soil drains well and isn't compacted. 🪴 Consider repotting if: It’s rootbound (tight roots circling the pot). Water drains too quickly or not at all. You want to place it in a decorative or larger pot to encourage growth. 🕐 Best time to repot: Spring or early summer, during the active growing season.

For a Monstera Swiss Cheese we suggest, a well-draining, airy soil mix is best. Here's what to look for: Peat-based potting mix: Provides moisture retention. Perlite or orchid bark: Ensures good drainage and aeration. Coco coir: Adds moisture retention and improves texture. A good mix could be 2 parts peat-based potting soil, 1 part perlite, and 1 part orchid bark. This blend will keep the roots healthy by preventing waterlogging while allowing them to breathe.
