Monstera Peru Care (Karstenianum)

Are you looking to add a gorgeous Monstera Peru to your tropical houseplant collection? It's not like most monstera's, and knowing how to keep it happy will let your Peru grow for years to come.

Follow our care guide below, and let's grow something great together.

Monstera Peru Sun Light Requirements

Monstera Peru's grow fast and healthy in bright, indirect light. It's recommended to place the Monstera near a north-facing window, or in a filtered window that doesn't face north

Its deep green leaves means it can soak up the sun's rays quicker than other plants, so direct light will do more harm than good.

How much water for a Monstera Peru

If you tend to forget to water every now and then, this is the plant for you! It's thick leaves store water, so adding too much water on a frequent basis will drown it.

Once a week, or every two weeks is common. Remember, the more sun your plant gets the more water it will need. Brighter rooms will mean a higher watering frequency, and darker rooms means less watering.

The vibrant glossy and green leaves feel leathery to your touch. They also have a gorgeous deep green veining on the leaves.

I love the Monstera Peru leaves. They are a deep green, and the leaves are thick, and have a dragon-scale texture to them. I finally found one after a long search!

I got a Monstera Peru as a gift and love it. People ask me about it all the time and winder what it is. The leaves are what they mainly ask about. Their texture is so beautiful.
