Monstera Obliqua Peru #32

Monstera Obliqua Peru, often referred to as the "Hole Plant" or the "Swiss Cheese Plant," is a highly sought-after and rare tropical plant native to the rainforests of Peru. It is prized among collectors and enthusiasts for its delicate, fenestrated leaves and its unique, vining growth habit.

Appearance:

• Leaves: The most striking feature of this plant is its leaves. They are thin, papery, and heart-shaped, with large, oval-shaped holes or fenestrations that give it a lacy and delicate appearance. The leaves are typically a vibrant green color.

• Humidity: Prefers high humidity levels. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a pebble tray, or running a humidifier.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as an aroid mix or a blend of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark.
