Monstera Dubia

Monstera Dubia
is a lesser-known but fascinating member of the Monstera family, noted for its unique shingling behavior. When young, the plant’s small, heart-shaped leaves lie flat against any vertical surface it climbs, creating a stunning visual effect. The leaves are a deep green with lighter veins, and they develop more pronounced holes or fenestrations as the plant matures and begins to vine more freely.

Care Instructions:
Monstera Dubia thrives in bright, indirect light, which encourages more rapid growth and the development of its characteristic leaf fenestrations. It prefers humid conditions, mimicking its native tropical environment. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring that the soil remains moist but not soggy. During the growing season, a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer can be applied monthly to support its climbing and leaf development. Providing a moss pole or another type of support will help the plant exhibit its natural shingling behavior.
