What we ❤️ about this plant:
🌿 Extraordinary paper-thin leaves develop dramatic natural fenestrations and openings
✨ One of the most unusual and sought-after Monstera species for serious plant collections
☀️ Thrives in bright, indirect light away from harsh direct sunshine
💧 Enjoys consistent moisture, warmth and higher humidity
📈 Naturally climbing and benefits from a moss pole or other support as it develops
🪴 Supplied as a healthy plant in a 12cm pot
For something truly distinctive, Monstera obliqua ‘Peru’ is an extraordinary tropical aroid renowned for its exceptionally delicate foliage and dramatic fenestrations. Mature leaves can develop large openings with comparatively little leaf tissue remaining between them, creating the almost lace-like appearance for which this species is famous.
The foliage itself is noticeably thinner and more delicate than that of the much more common Monstera adansonii. As the plant matures in suitable conditions, its characteristic perforations become increasingly prominent, producing an unmistakably exotic appearance.
Monstera obliqua ‘Peru’ is naturally a climbing plant and benefits from a moss pole or similar support. It appreciates warmth and higher humidity, making it somewhat more demanding than everyday Monstera varieties but particularly rewarding for collectors who enjoy growing unusual aroids.
Provide bright, indirect light, an airy growing medium and consistent conditions while avoiding both prolonged dryness and waterlogged compost. With the right care, this fascinating Monstera makes a genuinely unusual addition to an indoor plant collection.
How to Care for Monstera obliqua ‘Peru’
• Position in bright, indirect light, avoiding strong direct sunlight that could damage its delicate foliage.
• Keep the growing medium lightly and consistently moist, but never saturated or waterlogged.
• Use a loose, chunky and free-draining aroid mix with plenty of aeration around the roots.
• Provide moderate to high humidity and avoid particularly dry air or cold draughts.
• Give the plant a moss pole or other climbing support as it develops.
• Feed lightly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced houseplant fertiliser.
