Monstera obliqua 'Peru' in 12 cm pot

Monstera obliqua 'Peru'

Monstera obliqua is one of the rarest and most delicate members of the Monstera genus, known for its incredibly thin leaves and dramatic, lace-like fenestrations. With more hole than leaf, its appearance is often mistaken for Monstera adansonii—but obliqua’s foliage is far more fragile, papery, and perforated.

This elusive species is best suited to experienced growers or collectors with high humidity environments, such as terrariums or greenhouses. When given the right conditions, it rewards patience with striking, otherworldly growth.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun
• Water: Keep evenly moist; do not let dry out completely
• Humidity: High humidity (70%+) recommended
• Considerations: Very sensitive to dry air and inconsistent moisture; grow in a controlled environment for best results. Use a free-draining indoor plant mix, such as our specifically designed blend for aroids and houseplants.
