House plant styling ideas – monstera
Find new ways to display this tropical head-turner, with our pick of the best Instagram inspiration
Monstera add an instantly cool and contemporary vibe to the home, and have become a recognisable symbol of house plant obsession everywhere. Nowhere is this more prevalent than on Instagram, where proud house-plant owners display their monstera in a variety of ways.
Also known as the Swiss cheese plant, monstera were once considered painfully retro but now these iconic leaves are everywhere! And their appeal doesn’t look set to fade any time soon. Monstera are easy to grow, and individual stems bearing a single geometrically pleasing leaf can even be sliced off to look glorious in a vase anywhere in your home.
