We are HUGE monstera lovers, so it is a great pleasure to present to you our selection of the plant of the month, the beautiful Monstera Peru.
This Monstera is prized for its striking and unique foliage; Deep dark emerald green leaves with an interesting wavy texture that some say resembles crocodile skin. The leaves are thick and have an almost waxy feel.
Monstera Peru is a hemi-epiphytic plant, which means that it climbs trees to grow, but is slightly rooted in the ground.
Monstera Peru is easy to care for. We recommend watering it once or twice a week.As with all monsteras, we highly recommend using a high-quality soil mix with excellent drainage.
This plant loves high humidity (don't confuse this with overwatering!) We recommend spraying the plant with water twice a week.
In order for your monstera to produce larger leaves, you will need it to climb a pole of some kind. A moss stick will work just fine.
