    Does it have any roots? If it does, it needs to be planted in compost, in a pot that has drainage holes so that the excess water can drain out when you water it. I've never seen one flower indoors as a house plant, they are grown for the foliage. More info here https://www.houseplantsexpert.com/swiss-cheese-plant.html

  • You have stems of a cheese plant or Monstera I assume you are trying to get them to root in water? They do flower but I have never seen the flowers. 
    I think it's a monsters plant because the person who gave me this plant said nothing about cheese and it blossom so big in his house he said it grows on its on it just need a lot of sunlight and a little bit of water but I don't know for sure

    You will need to buy a rooted plant from a garden Centre.  They don’t flower.
    or, if those leaves have rooted in the water,  pot it up and keep it in the shade indoors. 
    I don't know any plant that don't need sun and stay in the shade I'm confuse with this comment

    I don't think this plant flowers in doors. Not sure you can see any blossom may be something else?

    There are some guidelines here on how to root your plant in water.
    The water in your vase needs changing once a week.
    It should produce roots after a while. Once the roots are about 6" long you can pot it up.

    I think you must do what you think best then,  ask advise from the person who gave it to you.

    You have some cuttings of a Monstera deliciosa, common name is Swiss cheese plant because the leaves have holes like a piece of Swiss cheese. That plant grows from jungle floors where direct sunlight does not penetrate so mostly grows in shade. That is why it has such big leaves, to gather light in a shady area.

    I don't find the flowers particularly attractive.
    Pic from the site that I linked above, which also has a note on how to root a cutting: "Propagation: Propagate from a mature stem tip cuttings during summer below an aerial root at the node. Place the stem cutting about 1 or 2 inches deep in moist potting soil and water moderately. It should begin rooting within the first couple of weeks or so."

    Hardly described as blossom Jenny,  I agree, not very attractive.
