Origins 

Monstera dubia is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, from southern Mexico down to Bolivia and Brazil, where it climbs tree trunks as a shingling epiphyte in the humid, shaded understorey.

Soil and Substrate

As a climbing epiphyte, Monstera dubia thrives in a chunky, airy substrate that mimics the decaying bark and leaf litter of its native rainforest. Our Monstera and Philodendron Potting Mix suits this rare plant well.
