Monstera Karstenianum

Monstera is photographed in the Ferry pot in the second photo. The package contains a plant in a plastic pot.

About the plant:
Monstera karstenianum is a climbing plant from the Aronaceae family. It may be better known under the names Monstera Peru or Epipremnum Marble Planet. It comes from the tropical forests of Central and South America. Compared to Monstera deliciosa (magnificent), it is characterized by its smaller stature and smaller leaves, which are distinctly veined. It is suitable for smaller apartments, but it needs a suitable support for its climbing. It is most typically used as an ornamental plant.

Other house monsters are characterized by their carved leaves, yet this one is not carved. Their texture is very strange, they can appear like Braille when touched. We have already mentioned its climbing, moreover, it grows quickly, therefore it is more or less necessary to purchase a support rod, made either of moss or, for example, coconut fibers. We can also buy a hanging basket in which we will grow the monster.
