Monstera ACUMINATA Moss pole 16.5cm

Description

Monstera acuminata is a species within the Monstera genus, celebrated for its distinctive and attractive foliage. This plant typically showcases large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that may exhibit unique splits or holes, a notable characteristic of many Monstera species. The leaves are often a vibrant green and can grow to a considerable size.

Monstera acuminata can vary in size, but typically it reaches a height of about 60 to 90 centimetres when grown indoors. The leaves can grow quite large, often measuring between 20 to 30 centimetres in length, and can be even larger in optimal outdoor conditions. As a climbing plant, it has the potential to grow taller if provided with suitable support, such as a moss pole or trellis. The overall size may vary based on factors like age, growing conditions, and care provided.

Monstera acuminata is a climbing plant, commonly found growing on trees in its natural habitat. In cultivation, it benefits from support structures such as moss poles or trellises to aid its growth.

The plant thrives in bright, indirect light but is capable of tolerating lower light conditions. It flourishes in well-draining soil and requires regular watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

This species prefers higher humidity levels, making it well-suited for indoor environments with humidity control, or for placement in areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Monstera acuminata is a favourite among houseplant enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and relatively straightforward care requirements. If you are contemplating adding one to your collection, you are likely to appreciate its aesthetic charm.
