DESCRIPTION:

Monstera is a genus of tropical climbing plants native to the rainforests of Central and South America, where they grow under the canopy and climb trees in search of light. Known for their dramatic split or fenestrated leaves, Monstera are fast-growing and adaptable, making them a striking and easy-care choice for indoor collectors.

Monstera sp. 'Peru' variegated, also known as Monstera karstenianum, is a rare climbing species prized for its thick, glossy, deeply textured leaves. This variegated form features striking marbled patterns in creamy white or yellow, creating bold contrast against its dark green background. Unlike other Monsteras, it does not fenestrate, making it a unique and eye-catching addition to any rare plant collection.

OPTIMAL CONDITIONS

🌞 LIGHT: Thrives in bright, indirect light and performs exceptionally well under full-spectrum grow lights. High light helps maintain vibrant foliage and variegation. Ideal for south- or west-facing windows with filtered sun.

💦 HUMIDITY: Prefers humidity levels around 60–70%, similar to conditions in our nursery. Performs well in homes with a humidifier, grouped plants, or naturally higher humidity environments.

💧 WATER: Water when the soil is about halfway dry. Performs best in a chunky, well-aerated mix that balances moisture and drainage.

🐈 PET SAFE: No
