Monstera adansonii thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates warmth and humidity. Its growth habit is highly versatile and can be trained to climb using a moss pole or left to trail beautifully from a shelf or hanging pot. Over time, the fenestrations (holes) become more defined as the plant matures. If you want to encourage upward growth and larger leaves, pair it with one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles.
✨ Each plant is hand-selected from our current stock. Leaf shape and size may vary naturally.
📦 Plants are shipped securely in nursery pots using recyclable and reused packaging materials, and come with a scannable QR code for full care instructions.
