This plant is a coveted little rarity among Monstera fans! On the one hand, because it is rarely found on the market, and on the other hand, because, in contrast to some other Monstera species, it has a rather compact growth and is therefore also very well suited for keeping in medium-sized and large terrariums, where it can quickly climb up the walls.
• Delivery: You will receive an offshoot with aerial roots and 3-4 leaves.
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: Tropical regions of Central America to South America
• Other names: Censer Plant, Pointed Monstera, False Philodendron
Ben's care tips:
• We recommend keeping the scion in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
• Location/Light Requirements: Partial shade, avoid bright/direct sunlight.
• Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
• Temperature: optimal at 22-28°C, do not allow to cool below 18°C
• Watering: Water well about once a week, keep the substrate moist but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity.
• Nutrient addition: In spring/summer approx. every 2 weeks with liquid fertiliser.
• Should be repotted about every 2 years.
• Avoid draughts. Dust the leaves regularly with a slightly damp cloth.
