Monstera Siltepecana $25

Monstera siltepecana is an appressed epiphyte, meaning it’s a type of shingle plant that closely “hug” the host tree and grows as a climbing vine.
The juvenile specimens of Monstera siltepecana has bluish green leaves with silvers markings. Similar to the Dubia, as the Siltepecana begins to mature it morphs into a plant that looks quite different than its younger self.

When it reaches to full maturity the plant has large fenestrated leaves shaped like a teardrop, however instead of holes all over the leaves, they appear more around the centre part of the leaf’s vein. The Siltepecana also tends to be lighter in colour than some other Monstera varieties and the leaf blades are somewhat leathery.

This is another rarity in Australia of the Monstera genus so if you find this plant available you should grab
