Introducing the Monstera dubia, also known as the Shingle Plant, a captivating member of the Monstera family. Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, this plant is renowned for its unique growth pattern, where juvenile leaves lie flat against a support, creating a shingled effect. As it matures, the foliage transforms, developing fenestrations that add to its exotic appeal.
Why You’ll Love It ✔️
✔️ Unique Growth Habit – The juvenile leaves grow flat against a surface, creating a striking shingled pattern.
✔️ Transformative Foliage – Watch it transition from small, heart-shaped leaves to larger, fenestrated foliage as it climbs.
✔️ Space-Saving Climber – Perfect for apartments and small spaces, growing vertically on a support.
Care Tips
🌞 Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
💦 Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments. A humidifier will help maintain optimal moisture levels.
🌡 Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 18–29°C. Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
🌱 Soil: A well-draining mix of coco coir, coco chip, and perlite is ideal.
🪴 Support: Requires a moss pole or wooden plank to climb and exhibit its shingling growth habit.
🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is added to the potting mix. Supplement with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
🚫 Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested; keep out of reach of children and animals.
Introduce the Monstera dubia to your indoor jungle and enjoy its unique climbing charm and transformative beauty! 🌿✨
100mm pot size
Plants are shipped on a polystyrene totem, as bark or wooden totems cannot be sent to all states. We recommend keeping the plant on the totem to prevent damage. However, if you wish to remove it, carefully break apart the polystyrene rather than pulling the plant off, as the stems and roots are delicate and may break easily.
Product Weight:0.5 kg
- The plants has grown too attached to the bark totems to remove, we cant ship these to quarantine states sorry

We use a direct API link to Australia Post for our rates, so the rates you see at the checkout are fed directly from Australia Post. The rates are not estimates, they are the actual Australia Post rates, we do not add any extra to the price.
The rates are based on the actual weight of the order [or the cubic weight if its higher] and your delivery address.
We don't make any profit from shipping rates, we only charge you what we're charged.

Plants
We send plants exclusively with Australia Post Express. Our shipping app knows when there is a plant in the order and will only display Express Post rates.
As plants are top priority we ship them with the fastest method possible.
Magical Maxis
Our Magical Maxis range are grown in larger pots 175mm and for too big to fit in our regular packaging.
We've offered these larger plants with complimentary shipping as they need to ship one plants per box and cannot be packed together with any of our other plants due to their size.
The weight of these plants will not affect the capped 5kg shipping price.
At this stage we are not shipping out Magical Maxi range to WA, NT or TAS.
Accessories
Accessories can be shipped with either Parcel Post or Express Post. Our shipping app will assess your shopping cart and identify what you are shipping. If you only have accessories in your cart, it will display rates for Parcel Post and Express Post, however if you have accessories + plants in your cart it will only show rates for Express Post.
Keyrings
We use untracked letters for posting keyrings, these are sent in a large letter using stamps so there is no way to track these deliveries.
We do give the option at the checkout to select a paid shipping option with tracking, including Parcel Post and Express Post.
Delivery timeframes for untracked letters are generally a few weeks but can take much longer to arrive.
