Beginner | Trailing
Commonly found hitching a ride up the sides of large tree trunks in the rainforests of Central and South America, this low maintenance cousin of the Monstera Deliciosa is beloved for similar reasons to its famous relative: the fenestrations, or holes, in its leaves.
Rafiki is a vine that likes to climb and its name means 'friend' in Swahili, the perfect nickname for such an easy-going plant. It only requires moderate light and periodic watering to survive, but give it more ideal conditions, and it'll grow like... well, like a vine!
Also known as Monkey Mask, Swiss Cheese Vine, Five Holes Plant.

Let customers speak for us
from 435 reviewsI bought three plants online and had to pick up. The plants were neatly packed and in amazing condition. loved the experience and definitely recommend it.
Very pleasant atmosphere and welcoming
Best people here!
I loved this company and will be buying again! Super great quality and also delivery was so easy!
They were very thorough, responsive, willing to adapt to my delivery day request and delivered the plants exactly when they said they would! Quality of plants is amazing. Thanks superstars @Frondly!!
Arrived looking beautiful and healthy. It was very convenient to have it delivered so I didn’t have to figure out how to fit a large plant in my car. Thank you!
Love this plant shop! The health of the plants is amazing, they all look beautiful and are clearly well taken care of. I’ve done both the home delivery and in-store pickup. Both experiences went seamlessly! I highly recommend visiting the shop if you can! It’s a great vibe and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be buying all my future house plants from Frondly!
I purchased 2 plants, have them changed to new pots and delivered. First, I was very happy with the delivery as the driver kindly responded back to my texts and accommodated as requested. The plants looked exactly according to the picture but more beautiful in person. I will be going back to purchase more.
Online inventory was incorrect, but Chad was very accommodating. In the end I’m glad I went through with it. I obviously still wish I got the larger sized that I ordered originally, and will likely seek them elsewhere.

You always provide beautiful and honest plants.
I have three new gorgeous plants from Frondly. Delivery was seamless and appreciated the repotting. Highly recommend!!
The soil was packaged nicely and was delivered alongside our beautiful new tree. The delivery option is very convenient for larger plants. We are very happy, thank you!
I have been hearing about Frondly for a bit. Finally went in and experienced one of the best customer services in a Vancouver shop. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. I left with three gorgeous plants and even got a follow up email on how to care for each. I really appreciated the emphasis on customer care - it’s not something you see often in our city. Keep it up Frondly! I’ll be back for more plants :)
NIcely packaged with obvious care to preserve this little beauty. Drizzy is settling in nicely on the shelf above my desk, keeping an eye on me as I pretend to work :)
