As autumn sets in and we spend more time indoors, it’s the perfect opportunity to refresh our living spaces with vibrant greenery. Boma Garden Centre is delighted to feature Monstera as our indoor plant of the month for September. This iconic houseplant, known for its lush foliage and easy care, is an ideal choice for brightening up your home as the days grow shorter. At Boma, we’re celebrating Monstera this month with special offers and an ever-changing variety of cultivars that showcase the incredible diversity of this beloved plant.
Why Monstera?
Monstera’s popularity is no accident. Its dramatic, split leaves and vigorous growth make it a standout in any indoor setting. These plants are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where their large leaves develop unique perforations, thought to help withstand heavy rain and wind in their natural habitat. Indoors, these features not only add visual interest but also make Monstera a conversation piece and a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts.
At Boma, our selection of Monstera is constantly evolving as we introduce new cultivars each week. Whether you’re a novice plant parent or a seasoned collector, there’s a Monstera variety to suit every style and space. Here’s a closer look at some of the stunning Monstera varieties that you might find at Boma this September:
Monstera deliciosa is the classic variety most people think of when they hear “Monstera.” With its large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that develop iconic splits and holes as they mature, this plant is a true statement piece.

• Growth Habit: Can grow quite large, making it perfect for spacious areas. It may need support from a moss pole as it climbs.
