Monstera Karstenianum | Peru (L)

The Monstera Karstenianum, otherwise known as the Monstera Peru, is a rare Monstera species identifiable by the deep, ridge-like texture and dark green colour of its leaves. Its a beautiful, easy-care houseplant you can be happy to get your hands on! Unlike most Monsteras, this tropical plant prefers to dry out more in between waterings due to its waxy leaves retaining more moisture. It can handle most forms of indirect light, but its leaves will burn if placed directly in the sun. Like most Monsteras, it has a vining tendency and will love a moss pole to climb up, or to be placed in a hanging basket! The rare houseplants prefer an airy soil mixture and high humidity for best results.
