Monstera Peru

Monstera Peru: A Rare and Beautiful Plant
Monstera Peru, also known as Monstera Karstenianum, is a stunning vining plant with unique, corrugated leaves. It’s a relatively rare species compared to its more common cousins like the Deliciosa and Adansonii.
Key Characteristics:
* Unique Leaf Structure: The leaves are thick and corrugated, with a deep, almost succulent-like texture.
* Color Variations: While typically dark green, some cultivars may exhibit lighter shades or even variegation.
* Vining Growth Habit: Monstera Peru is a climber, and providing it with a moss pole or trellis can encourage upward growth and larger leaves.
Care Requirements:
* Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.
* Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
* Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Misting the plant regularly or using a humidifier can help.
* Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Propagation:
* Cuttings: Propagate Monstera Peru from stem cuttings. Ensure the cutting has at least one node and root it in water or well-draining soil.
