Monstera Deliciosa

Native to Southern Mexico and Central America, Monstera Deliciosa displays breathtakingly large foliage that earn it the name after the Latin word for ‘monstrous’. Its famously perforated leaves, called fenestrations, are a unique adaptation that lets sunlight pass through its broad canopy and reach the forest floor. Their unique patterns are genetically predetermined when the leaf sprouts, and with time become larger and more common, while the leaves get larger and darker.
