Monstera Lechleriana is a climbing species native from Central America to northern South America, with glossy, oblong leaves carrying rows of small perforations along both sides of the midrib. It stays more compact than M. deliciosa but still develops dramatic mature foliage on a pole. This is an XL specimen.
Note: this is an established, potted plant shipped in its nursery pot. Photos show a representative specimen — leaf count, size and variegation vary naturally from plant to plant.
Care tip: Give it something to climb — Monstera lechleriana produces noticeably larger, more perforated leaves once its aerial roots can attach to a moss pole.
Give it bright, indirect light, a chunky mix of bark, perlite and coir, and water once the top couple of inches have dried. A moss pole encourages larger, more fenestrated leaves as the plant matures. Keep white or cream sections out of direct sun, which browns them quickly.
A true species Monstera that gives the fenestrated look in a more manageable size — an excellent climber for a moss pole.
