6" Monstera Peru

Monstera ‘Peru’ (Monstera karstenianum)

Monstera ‘Peru’ is a bold, textured houseplant prized for its thick, deeply ridged leaves that almost look quilted or hammered. Unlike the classic Monstera deliciosa, this variety has solid, glossy green foliage with no fenestrations, giving it a compact, modern feel. Its sturdy leaves and vining growth habit make it perfect for trellises, moss poles, or letting it trail naturally.

This plant is easygoing and drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for both collectors and more relaxed plant parents.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light but grows best brighter
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry partially between waterings; thick leaves store moisture
🌫 Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to normal indoor levels
❄️ Temperature: Prefers warm temps (65–85°F); avoid cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: No

Fun Fact:
Despite its common name, Monstera ‘Peru’ is not from Peru—the nickname comes from its early trade name, not its native range 🌿✨
