Monstera dubia is one of the most extraordinary Monsteras you can grow. As a juvenile, its silver-green leaves cling tightly to a board, plank, or tree trunk in a unique growth habit called shingling, creating a stunning living mosaic unlike any other houseplant. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, it naturally climbs upward while hugging the bark to maximize light and withstand heavy tropical rains. Once it reaches the top of its support, the plant undergoes a spectacular transformation, producing enormous deep-green leaves with classic Monstera splits and holes that can exceed 2 feet long. Thick stems root easily at every node, making propagation simple. First described by German botanist Karl Koch in 1845, the species gets its name, dubia ("doubtful"), from the early uncertainty surrounding its classification. In its native habitat, mature plants produce an elongated edible fruit with a flavor reminiscent of other Monstera species, although flowering and fruiting indoors are exceptionally rare. A true collector's plant, Monstera dubia offers the rare experience of watching one plant transform into what looks like an entirely different species over time.

Rare collectible species from Columbia. It starts out with somewhat light green undivided leaves, then begins to split as the plant matures growing small splits along the leaf. Eventually, the plant will set up in a nook or a joint in a tree and begin growing as if nesting. This is where the plant becomes most interesting. The leaves become completely divided or pinnate.
The Monstera pinnatipartita is one such out-of-the-ordinary example. This evergreen climbs with epiphytic aerial roots and can grow up to 2 feet a year if growing conditions are optimal. Despite their show-stopping appearance, these plants are surprisingly easy-to-care-for.
While mature plants certainly have the wow factor, the smaller foliage on juvenile plants is solid rather than fenestrated. You'll need patience for the payoff if you buy this baby.
