The other day, while I was browsing the plant section of Home Depot, I came across a truly magnificent Monstera deliciosa, aka Swiss Cheese Plant. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you this beautiful specimen was almost as tall as me—so big that I wasn’t sure if it would even fit in the back of my car, and it only cost $90. How often do you find a 5-foot Monstera for under $100?!
I hemmed and hawed and walked several laps around the store, trying to decide whether I should take the plant home with me. I ultimately walked away—slowly and looking back often—because I was by myself and didn’t know how I’d get it into my apartment without help. Naturally, I regretted it, and returned to the store with my boyfriend in tow a few days later, but the beautiful babies were gone. Now there’s a hole in my heart where a hole-y Swiss Cheese Plant should have been.
