Rare collectible species from Columbia. These plants not ready for shipping yet but available for local pick up.
Monstera dubia is a well known shingling Monstera with such a desirable growth
habit when juvenile that most enthusiasts barely recognize the adult form. This plant produces quarter size and up leaves with max size of the shingling leaves being around 8 inches. At this point, the plant pulls loose from its support and begins producing leaves which can be more than 2 feet long!
Recommended Fertilizer: SUNSHINE Robusta - Rapid Growth Booster
This is a hot seller, limited quantities. Demand is very high, these plants sell faster than we can grow them bigger. Please do not order if size matters to you.
Leaves of this plant are very fragile and may be slightly damaged during transportation which does not hurt new growth. Trim as needed and more new leaves will grow.
