Features

Caution: Similar to other Monstera species, this plant is considered mildly toxic if ingested and can cause irritation. It's advisable to keep it away from pets and children.
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Protect it from direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not develop its characteristic fenestrations as prominently.
Watering: Allow the soil to partially dry out between waterings. Like other Monstera species, it prefers well-draining soil and is sensitive to overwatering.
Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect it from sudden temperature drops or cold drafts.
Humidity: Adaptable to normal indoor humidity levels but benefits from occasional misting or a pebble tray for added moisture.
Maintenance:
Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Pruning can also control its size and shape.
Support: Provide a moss pole or trellis if you want the plant to climb, as it's a natural climber and can benefit from support for optimal growth.
Cleaning: Wiping the leaves gently with a damp cloth helps remove dust and keeps the foliage looking healthy.
Foliage: Monstera Peru is known for its distinctive, small to medium-sized, heart-shaped leaves with intricate fenestrations (holes or splits) that become more prominent as the plant matures. The leaves often have a velvety texture and are dark green with silver or metallic-looking veins, giving them an almost iridescent appearance.
Growth Habit: It's a climbing vine that can grow aerial roots, which help it attach to surfaces or structures for support.
