- Designed in our exclusive versatile, neutral planter with ribbed border detail at rim and contoured base; break-resistant and watertight
- Measures approximately 8-12"H x 6"D
- Tending Tip: Your Swiss Cheese Plant loves to climb; in the wild, it uses air roots to push itself upward on an adjoining tree or woody vine; when growing it as a houseplant, you can simulate this by inserting a moss stick in the center of the pot
