Monstera Karstenianum ‘Peru’

Monstera Peru, an epiphyte, grows upward with vining habits and features uniquely puckered, thick dark green foliage. It's a slow-growing, low-maintenance plant, needing less light and water compared to other Monstera species. Bright, indirect sunlight, airy, well-draining acidic soil, and temperatures between 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal. Like other Monstera species, Monstera Peru is toxic to dogs, cats, and humans, similar to its cousins Monstera deliciosa and Monstera adansonii.

Monstera Peru Care:

Growing this monstera indoors is surprisingly simple. However, its care differs from other monstera species, so ensure you know its main requirements to keep it thriving:

• Avoid direct sunlight; instead, provide bright, indirect light.
• Opt for an airy, well-draining soil mix.
• Allow the plant to completely dry out between waterings.
• Offer support for climbing, like a moss pole or trellis, or let the vining foliage trail in a hanging planter.
• Maintain a warm, humid environment suitable for this tropical plant.
