Deliciosa has large, heart-shaped leaves that split from the edges and grows into a big floor plant. Both are called the Swiss cheese plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Monstera adansonii grow indoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it is an indoor plant. Keep it in bright, indirect light; in a dark corner it grows slowly and makes fewer holes in new leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are my Monstera leaves turning yellow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost often overwatering.

Keep it out of their reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I repot it into a decorative planter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
