Care Tips
🌞 Light: Bright indirect light is ideal to support healthy growth and strong foliage texture; avoid harsh direct sun.
💧 Water: Water when the top layer of the mix begins to dry, keeping soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
💦 Humidity: Enjoys moderate to higher humidity; a humidifier will support fuller growth and healthier leaves.
🌡 Temperature: Prefers warm conditions between 18–30°C and should be protected from cold drafts.
🌱 Soil: Use a chunky, free-draining mix of coco coir, coco chip & perlite to support healthy root development.
🪴 Support: Benefits from a moss pole or trellis to encourage climbing and larger foliage.
🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is added to the potting mix; supplement with a balanced liquid fertiliser during active growth for optimal performance.
🚫 Toxicity: Toxic if ingested; keep out of reach of pets and children.
A bold and rewarding climber that delivers texture, structure, and strong tropical character.
Synonyms and trade names: Monstera Peru, Epipremnum karstenianum
75mm pot size
We get a lot of questions about how our shipping works, so here’s a simple breakdown 🌿📦
Our shipping rates are charged in bundles based on box space and weight limits.
As a general guide:
• 75mm plants count as 1 plant space
• 100mm plants take up the space of approximately 2 × 75mm plants
This means a box that fits 8 × 75mm plants will usually fit around 4 × 100mm plants depending on the plant size and shape.
Every product has an estimated shipping weight listed just below the product description. Please use this as a guide when building your order.
If your order exceeds one shipping bundle, the website will automatically add another shipping amount for the additional bundle.
For example:
• Up to 8 × 75mm plants = 1 shipping bundle
• Larger 100mm plants use more box space and may reduce the total quantity that fits per bundle
