Francoise Duffy

Ever struggled to bring a bit of wild elegance into your space? Monstera leaves might be just what you need. Known as the "Swiss cheese plant" because of the iconic holes that develop in its leaves, Monstera has a history of capturing imaginations. These holes aren't just for show— light passes through and help the plant withstand heavy rains and strong winds in its native tropical habitat by allowing the elements to pass through.
