5 Monstera Varieties that are Easy to grow

Monstera plants have taken the plant world by storm—and for good reason. With their stunning foliage, low-maintenance vibes, and tropical feel, Monsteras are the perfect blend of beauty and resilience. Whether you're just getting into houseplants or looking to expand your leafy collection, these 5 easy to grow Monstera varieties are excellent choices to get started.

1. Monstera deliciosa Easy to Grow Monstera

Height: 10–15 feet (outdoors); 6–8 feet (indoors)

Meet the queen of the Monstera family—Monstera deliciosa. With large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that develop dramatic splits and holes (called fenestrations), this plant brings the tropics right into your living room. It’s forgiving, fast-growing, and thrives in bright, indirect light.

Care Tips:

• Water when the top inch of soil is dry

• Use a moss pole or trellis for climbing

• Mist for extra humidity (though it’s quite tolerant)

2. Monstera adansonii

Height: 3–6 feet (vining)

Smaller but just as eye-catching, Monstera adansonii has more holes than leaves! Known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, its trailing or climbing nature makes it ideal for hanging baskets or wall trellises. It grows quickly with minimal care, making it a favorite among new plant parents.

Care Tips:

• Likes humidity but can adapt to normal room conditions

• Keep in medium to bright indirect light

• Trim for bushier growth

3. Monstera standleyana

Height: 2–5 feet

For something sleek and variegated, Monstera standleyana offers narrow, deep green leaves splashed with white or cream markings. It’s less “holey” than other Monsteras but just as stylish. This climbing beauty thrives when trained on a moss pole and loves a little pampering.

Care Tips:

• Keep in bright, filtered light

• Water moderately; don’t let it sit soggy

• Rotate regularly for even growth

4. Monstera pinnatipartita

Height: 4–6 feet (indoors), taller with support

Want a Monstera that evolves with age? Start with thick, oval-shaped leaves, and as it matures, Monstera pinnatipartita develops stunning deep splits and a bumpy texture. It’s like watching your plant go through a glow-up.

Care Tips:

• Loves bright, indirect light and regular watering

• Use a pole or stake to support upward growth

• Prune for size control and fuller shape

5. Monstera ‘Thai Constellation’

Height: 6–8 feet

With creamy white variegation scattered like constellations across its dark green leaves, Thai Constellation is definitely The Star of the Show. While it’s a bit pricier and slower growing, its care is surprisingly straightforward—perfect for plant lovers who want a little luxury with ease.

Care Tips:

• Keep in bright, indirect light to maintain variegation

• Avoid overwatering, water only when the topsoil dry

• Loves consistent humidity but adapts well indoors
