The Swiss cheese plant is native to the jungles of southern Mexico and Panama. It is a member of the Arum family, related to antheriums. The plants have aerial roots which they use to climb trees from the dark floors of the jungles towards the sunlight in the treetops. When grown indoors as a houseplant, it usually only grows to about 10 feet tall.
