Monstera Peru Philodendron - Monstera karstenianum - 4" Pot

the Monstera Peru or Monstera karstenianum is growing in popularity among houseplant lovers thanks to its easy care and unique foilage. Unlike other Monstera varieties such as Monstera dubia and Monstera adansonii, the Mostera Peru does not develop fenestration in its leaves but instead, its deep green leaves are thick with deep ridge-like texture. This variety rarely grows taller than 6 to 8 feet indoors with leaves topping out at about 9 centimeters long. They require less light and water than other species in the monstera genus and are known for being slow-growing as well, meaning they aren’t likely to outgrow your space any time soon (we’re looking at you Monstera deliciosa). As an epiphyte, the monstera Peru naturally has an upward, vining growth habit and does well when provided with a support to climb such as a moss pole or trellis.
