What is the plant

Monstera dubia is an species of plant in the genus Monstera native to Central and South America. It is an ever-changing climbing plant with beautiful silver variegated leaves.

Young Monstera dubia plants start with two to three inch leaves, but when allowed to climb, the maturing foliage can grow 12 to 15 inches in diameter with the iconic split leaf appearance, similar to that of a Monstera deliciosa. Dubia are very easy to grow tropical plants that require little care indoors or out. Like other aroids, many species of Monstera can be grown as houseplants, or outdoors in mild climates. Monstera plants can be grown in pots, hanging baskets or outdoors as a ground cover or beautiful tree wrap.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water Monstera moderately and evenly, about once a week. Wait until the soil is fairly dry before watering again. Keep in a fairly humid environment.
Fertilizer
To help establish your new Dubia monstera, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time released product. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly.
Sunlight
This Monstera requires 70-85% sunlight. Depending on your location filtered sun is best.
