Bright indirect — trailing or on a pole
Monstera Adansonii
Light requirement
Ideal near a south or west-facing window — bright room, out of direct rays.
The smaller, wilder sibling of Monstera Deliciosa. Leaves full of oval fenestrations trail or climb energetically. Fast, forgiving, and every bit as striking at a fraction of the size.
