Monstera Karstenianum Peru

Pot Size - 12cm

Monstera Peru (Monstera karstenianum)

Monstera Peru is a unique, fast-growing vining plant with thick, textured leaves that have a deep green, rippled appearance. Unlike other Monsteras, it doesn’t develop fenestrations (holes), making it stand out among its relatives. This low-maintenance, climbing plant is perfect for trellises, moss poles, or hanging baskets.

Care Guide:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Prefers slightly moist soil but dislikes overwatering.

Humidity: Loves high humidity (60%+), but adapts well to average household levels. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier.

Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep away from cold drafts.

Soil & Feeding: Use a well-draining, chunky mix (orchid bark, perlite, and peat-based soil). Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer.

Growth Habit: A climbing or trailing vine that benefits from a moss pole or trellis for support.

Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Ideal For:

✔ Easy-care plant lovers

✔ Adding unique texture to indoor plant collections

✔ Climbing or trailing plant displays

With its deeply textured leaves and striking green hues, Monstera Peru is a must-have for any rare plant collector or Monstera enthusiast!
