Monstera 'Peru' Karstenianum

The Monstera ‘Peru’, botanically known as Monstera karstenianum, is a rare and exotic climbing aroid prized for its deeply textured, glossy green leaves. Unlike the more familiar Monstera deliciosa, this variety doesn't produce fenestrations—instead, its thick, leathery leaves develop a dramatic, quilted surface that catches the light and adds rich texture to any plant collection. Compact yet bold, it’s a favorite among collectors and those seeking something truly unique.

Monstera ‘Peru’ thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a well-draining soil mix rich in organic matter. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings and provide high humidity to encourage lush growth. As a natural climber, it benefits from a moss pole or trellis, which supports its upward growth and encourages larger, more robust leaves over time.

With its striking appearance and easygoing nature, the Monstera ‘Peru’ brings tropical elegance and textural depth to any shelf, cabinet, or plant wall. Whether trailing gracefully or climbing toward the light, this uncommon Monstera adds a sense of adventure and refinement to your indoor jungle.
