Monstera deliciosa is called simply Split-leaf or Hurricane Plant or Swiss-Cheese Plant but is not a philodendron. This plant is not actually a philodendron but it is related. If intended as a houseplant choose a deep pot with many drainage holes. People everywhere are also mistakenly calling it a split-leaf philodendron.
