The Monstera obliqua Peru is one of the most coveted and delicate aroids in the plant world — famous for its paper-thin leaves and dramatic fenestrations that look almost lace-like. Ethereal, airy, and beautifully fragile, this plant thrives with high humidity, stability, and gentle care. A true collector’s gem that rewards patience with breathtaking foliage.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Sensitive to strong direct sun — it can scorch thin leaves

• Too little light = slower growth and smaller fenestrations

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly and consistently moist, never soggy

• Let the top 1–2 cm dry out before watering again

• Use a very airy aroid mix (orchid bark + perlite + sphagnum moss + coco coir)

🌫️ Humidity

• Requires high humidity: 70–90%

• Best kept in a greenhouse cabinet, terrarium, or near a humidifier

• Dry air can cause leaf crisping or stalled growth

🌡️ Temperature

• Warm + stable: 20–28°C

• Avoid drafts, cold air, and sudden temperature drops

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a gentle, diluted aroid fertilizer

• Skip feeding in winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Provide a fine moss pole or soft support — stems are delicate

• Handle carefully; leaves tear easily

• Perfect for cabinet collectors, aroid enthusiasts, and high-humidity setups

• Not pet-safe — keep out of reach
