Monstera Siltepecana is a stunning and relatively rare species in the Monstera genus, known for its unique foliage and climbing growth habit.
🌱 Key Features
Leaves: Juvenile leaves are narrow, lance-shaped, and silver-green with dark green veins — highly decorative. As the plant matures (especially when climbing), leaves become larger and may develop fenestrations (holes), similar to other Monsteras.
Growth Habit: A vining, climbing plant that does well with a moss pole or trellis.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Likes slightly moist soil but not soggy. Let the top 2–4 cm of soil dry out between watering.
Humidity: Enjoys high humidity; perfect for bathrooms or humid areas.
Soil: Well-draining, chunky mix (aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, peat, etc.)
Size: Can grow over 1.5 m indoors with proper support and care.
🪴 Care Tips
Support: Provide a moss pole or support to encourage upright growth and mature leaf development.
Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when rootbound.
Fertiliser: Use a balanced houseplant fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).
