Monstera deliciosa 'Micro' T8
Monstera deliciosa 'Micro' is the compact version of the popular Swiss cheese plant – known for its iconic, split leaves. Unlike its larger-leaved relative, this variety remains significantly smaller and is therefore perfect for windowsills, smaller pots, or as a stylish tabletop plant with a tropical flair.
Characteristics:
The typical deeply cut leaves appear here in a smaller form and develop into finely split structures as they age – just like its big sister. The plant grows bushy to slightly climbing and impresses with its strong, deep green color and decorative growth in a compact space.
Care Instructions:
Light: Bright to semi-shady – no direct sunlight, but good brightness promotes vigorous growth.
Water: Keep evenly moist, allowing to dry slightly between waterings.
Humidity: Average to high – regular misting is welcome, but not essential.
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, 1-2 times per month with a diluted green plant fertilizer. Temperature: Ideal at 18-26 °C, not below 16 °C.
Note: Perfect for anyone who loves the iconic look of the Monstera but has less space available. Over time, it develops its typical leaf windows. Easily propagated through stem cuttings.
Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.
Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.
Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.
In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.
Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
