A close ally, the Swiss cheese plant, grows to 5 or 6 feet and almost as wide. This plant has such impressive foliage it often seems larger than its average 4-5 feet tall. Its leaves are huge and some varieties are strongly variegated. As beautiful as these large plants are, they can be a real challenge when it comes to moving them indoors. When purchasing a large plant, it pays to have it delivered by experienced people with the appropriate equipment.
Large plants can easily weigh more than it is safe for one person to lift.
A two-wheel moving cart is very helpful. If you want to move it yourself, it is important to avoid handling the plant by its trunk. Always handle it by the pot. When possible, take a few minutes to carefully pull the foliage up together and wrap it with paper or a soft cloth for the move. A sheet works great.
