Product description
Comprising a Monstera Deliciosa and a Yucca Elephantipes, this Botanical Beauty House Plant Bundle certainly lives up to its name, adding a touch of elegant greenery to any home or office.
Better known as a Swiss Cheese Plant, Monstera Deliciosa is a hugely popular house plant boasting large, rich green leaves. The leaves develop splits and holes as the plant matures, giving it its instantly recognisable appearance. This Monstera reaches an eventual height of 150-180cm and is ideal as a statement plant.
Meanwhile, the upright growing Spineless Yucca boasts a textured brown trunk bearing long, leathery, sword-like mid-green leaves. Reaching an eventual height of up to 180cm, mature plants may produce flower spikes of creamy-white blooms.
Whether you choose to display your new house plants together or separately, they don’t need a huge amount of attention to flourish. Place each plant in bright, indirect light, taking care to avoid a position where strong sunlight can cause leaf scorch. Water weekly, when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry and reduce watering during the autumn and winter months when the plant isn’t growing. Mist your Monstera and Yucca weekly to mimic humidity and help keep the leaves free of dust.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Rotate Yuccas and Swiss Cheese Plants regularly to encourage even growth and help prevent the plants from leaning towards the light source.
How to Water
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, this is typically once a week, but always adjust based on the environment. Reduce watering in the winter months when growth slows. Ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Use filtered or rainwater to avoid mineral build-up on the plant’s leaves.
How to Plant
To plant your Indoor Plant Mix, choose pots with good drainage holes and use a quality houseplant compost. Gently remove each plant from its nursery pot and loosen the roots if they appear compacted. Position each plant at the same depth as in its original pot, filling around it with soil and firming gently. Place the pots in a bright location with indirect sunlight, avoiding direct exposure to prevent leaf scorching. Water lightly after planting to settle the soil.
