The Monstera obliqua is one of the rarest and most coveted members of the Monstera family, prized by collectors for its almost lace-like foliage. Its paper-thin leaves are adorned with fenestrations that can take up to 90% of the leaf surface, creating a delicate, airy appearance. Perfect for beginners or serious collectors looking to add something truly special to their indoor jungle!
NOTE: Fenestrations may vary from plant to plant, especially in younger specimens, but with optimal care, bright indirect light, and support for climbing, the holes will grow larger and more defined over time.
Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Medium plants measure between 8-14" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled into your planter choice, if purchased
Monstera Obliqua Care Guide
Plant Origin: Tropical Americas
Sunlight requirements
Thrives in bright indirect light. Not suited for low light or full afternoon sun.
Watering requirements
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity and filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
Is this plant pet-friendly?
This plant may NOT be suitable for a home with pets.
In the wild, Monstera Obliqua climbs trees to reach more light, using aerial roots for support. Providing a coco coir pole or trellis at home encourages this natural growth and helps the plant develop larger leaves with more dramatic fenestrations!
