The evergreen Monstera, or window leaf in German, comes from Central and South America and belongs to the arum family ( Araceae ). It has heart-shaped split leaves. There are about 45 different species.
Monstera adansonii, cultivated as a houseplant, differs because it has enclosed holes in the leaf structure while Monstera deliciosa is known for its fenestrations. Most species have a rich green color, but there are also varieties with variegated leaves such as Monstera variegata .
The plant likes it warm, moist, partially shaded and with a climbing pole. As a houseplant, it very rarely develops a flower, from which the name Monstera deliciosa can be derived because it is edible and considered delicious. Monstera is derived from monstrous because the plant and its leaves can grow very large.
The Monstera feels most comfortable in a soil with different proportions of soil, coconut fiber and worm castings. In our magazine you will find instructions for mixing. The plant is slightly poisonous to humans and pets.
