The Monstera Obliqua Peru has a special appearance with its large holes in the leaves. Much lesser known than the larger Monstera Deliciosa, but also an asset to your urban jungle in a modest format. It is a green climbing plant that grows to only a few meters in height. This refers to the bulk of the members’ characteristic pierced leaves.
This is an individual plant specimen - you will receive the exact plant pictured in this listing.

The type most people think of by naming Monstera Obliqua is the ‘Peru’. Or Monstera Obliqua Peruviana. This is the one with heavy fenestration.
The Monstera Obliqua Peru has a special appearance with its large holes in the leaves. Much lesser known than the larger Monstera Deliciosa, but also an asset to your urban jungle in a modest format. It is a green climbing plant that grows to only a few meters in height. This refers to the bulk of the members’ characteristic pierced leaves.
Monstera Obliqua inhabits an ephemeral, meaning fast-changing habitat, often at sea level, and installs itself among roots on the lower section of larger trees. It reaches maturity even on small trees as it is not a big climber. Its smallish size has the advantage that it can make use of a substrate that is not available to other plants. Furthermore, it is epiphytic, meaning that it can grow on top of other plants and takes in moisture and nutrients from the air, debris, rain, and also water.
The Difference Between Monstera Obliqua and Monstera Adansonii
You may find a plant labeled as Monstera Obliqua in garden centers, but you can be assured that you’re actually looking at an Adansonii. How to tell the difference: While Adansonii leaves are quite fenestrated, Obliqua leaves are extremely fenestrated to the point that there is more hole than leaves. In fact, up to 90% of a mature Monstera Obliqua Peru leaf is empty space!
The Monstera Obliqua prefers bright, natural light. It’s best to avoid direct sunlight as this will scorch the delicate, thin leaves. In their native Central and South American habitat, the Obliqua is used to humidity levels up to 90% and a dense jungle canopy to shelter them from strong direct sunlight.
This plant loves moisture and, as already mentioned, a bucket load of humidity. A greenhouse or warm conservatory is a good way to replicate its needed environment. Alternatively, this plant can also be placed in a warm and bright room with high humidity levels such as a kitchen or a bathroom. You will also need to keep your monstera away from radiators and drafty doors and windows.
