Monstera Dubai is a species of plant in the genus Monstera native to Central and South America. In a natural environment, the plant leaves lie flat against the trees to climb. That is why it is called a shingle plant. Ideal for terrarium and vivarium.
This fast-growing, easy to propagate and air-purifying houseplant is suitable for beginners.
Please note, due to the nature of the product, there may be cosmetic damage on leaves, which do not impact the plant’s health. Purchase only if you are happy about it. Pictures represent our actual tock.
This easy-to-care and fast-growing plant is also recommended for beginners.
The plant would enjoy a warm spot in bright indirect light, keep the soil slightly moist all the time but make sure that is not soggy, or too much water, and her leaves will turn yellow. To keep her super happy use house plant food every month during the growing season.
To prevent crispy edges of leaves, maintain humidity by putting the pot on a tray filled with water and clay pebbles. Make sure that the pot does not touch the water. To encourage growth and maintain humidity, provide high humidity and a sphagnum moss pole, she loves to climb!
See our shop to find our handmade moss poles that will go great with your Monstera!

Introduction and History Monstera plants, often called Swiss cheese plants due to their iconic fenestrated leaves, are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Monstera deliciosa was formally described in 1849 by Danish botanist Frederik Michael Liebmann during his exploration of Mexico. Monstera adansonii, another popular variety, was described in 1830 by Austrian botanist Heinrich Wilhelm Schott. Monstera obliqua and Monstera Peru are other notable species, though information about their first discovery is less detailed in botanical records.
In addition to naturally occurring species, certain cultivars have been developed:
These discoveries and innovations have solidified Monsteras as some of the most beloved houseplants worldwide.
Description and Features Monstera plants are vining aroids with large, glossy leaves that often develop unique splits and holes as they mature. These fenestrations allow light to pass through to lower parts of the plant in their natural jungle habitat. Popular species and varieties include:
Care Instructions
Monsteras thrive in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. If you’re searching for “can Monstera plants survive in low light,” the answer is yes, but their growth may slow.
Feed your Monstera with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in autumn and winter. If wondering “how to fertilise a Monstera plant,” ensure the soil is slightly moist before applying fertiliser to prevent root burn.
Monsteras benefit significantly from being trained to climb on a moss pole, as this mimics their natural growth habit and promotes larger, healthier leaves with more fenestrations. Our shop, Highland Moss, offers handmade sphagnum moss poles in classic green, mixed, and pink colours. These poles provide excellent support and retain moisture, which is essential for the plant’s aerial roots.
To make watering easier, we also offer drip cups designed to keep moss poles evenly hydrated, ensuring your Monstera thrives.
