Scientific Name: Monstera deliciosaCommon Name: Monstera Monsteras are a widely loved and wildly popular houseplant around the world for good reason. These beautiful plants are easy to care for and mature plants can have MASSIVE leaves. The Monstera deliciosa is often referred to as just "Monstera" and is a fan favorite for its unique fenestrations and large leaves. As the plant matures, holes appear in the older leaves and then split. In nature this plant grows up trees under thick canopies, and the holes allow light to hit the lower leaves. This is why a young monstera will not have the same fenestration as an older specimen. Basic Care: Bright, indirect light. water when top 2" of soil is dry. Humidity appreciated, but not needed. Monsteras grow very quickly and will send out lots of brown aerial roots (in nature these are used to attach to trees). We highly recommend staking your monstera very early, as they can quickly get out of hand and become difficult to stake if they aren't trained early on. ***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos. but it will be just as beautiful!
