Monstera Deliciosa is a live indoor plant listed by Gardenia Greeting Limited, a florist in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland, on the DoorToShop marketplace. A live indoor plant differs from cut flowers in that it lasts for years rather than about a week, which suits housewarmings and offices, but it requires ongoing care, which makes cut flowers more suitable for hospital rooms or recipients who travel. Because plants are grown rather than manufactured, height, leaf count and shape vary between individual specimens, so a listing photograph shows the type and typical size rather than the exact plant. Many indoor plants are supplied in the plastic nursery pot they were grown in. Most indoor plants that fail do so in the first month, usually from overwatering or insufficient light. A newly moved plant commonly drops a leaf or two while adjusting, which is normal and not a reason to repot or feed it. Bright indirect light — near a window but out of direct midday sun — suits most indoor foliage, and a dark corner is the common cause of slow decline. Soil should be checked before each watering by pushing a finger a couple of centimetres in and leaving it if damp, since overwatering kills more houseplants than neglect and produces similar-looking symptoms. Water must be able to drain, and a pot left standing in a saucer of water will cause root rot. Leaves should be dusted occasionally because dust blocks light, and the plant turned periodically because growth leans toward the light source.
