Monstera Karstenianum - Peru
Monstera Karstenianum - Peru is a climbing aroid with thick green foliage and a deeply textured surface. Its strong vining growth responds well to vertical support, where the overlapping leaves can create a bold, structured tropical display.
Why You’ll Love It
✔️ Appearance: Thick green leaves have a strongly textured, almost corrugated surface.
✔️ Growing Appeal: Its climbing habit responds well to a pole or trellis and becomes increasingly impressive as it gains height.
✔️ Point of Difference: Pronounced foliage texture gives it a distinct look even without variegation or fenestration.
Care Tips
Light: Bright, indirect light; protect from harsh direct sun.
Water: Water when the upper layer of potting mix begins to dry, then drain thoroughly.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity with good air movement.
Temperature: Best kept around 18–30°C and protected from cold conditions.
Soil: Use an airy, free-draining mix based on coco coir, coco chip and perlite.
Support: Provide a pole or trellis to encourage climbing growth and a fuller vertical display.
Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is included in the potting mix; supplement lightly during active growth if required.
Toxicity: This aroid contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause irritation if chewed or ingested; keep away from pets and children.
A bold climber whose heavily textured foliage brings plenty of structure indoors.
We get a lot of questions about how our shipping works, so here’s a simple breakdown 🌿📦
Our shipping rates are charged per box, with each box able to fit up to 8 × 75mm potted plants.
As a general guide:
• 75mm pots make the best use of space, with up to 8 plants fitting in one box
• 100mm pots take up more space, so a box will usually fit around 3 plants depending on their size and shape
If your order requires more than one box, the website will automatically add the additional shipping charge.
For example:
• Up to 8 × 75mm plants = 1 box
• Larger 100mm plants use more box space and may reduce the total number of plants that fit in each box
