Monstera deliciosa, the Swiss cheese plant or split-leaf philodendron is a species of flowering plant native to tropical forests of southern Mexico, south to Panama. It has been introduced to many tropical areas, and has become a mildly invasive species in Hawaii, Seychelles, Ascension Island and the Society Islands.

Your Swiss cheese plant likes indirect light.

So, it prefers indirect sunlight, or sunlight filtered by a sheer curtain. It will take some direct sunlight, but not more than a few hours per day.
