The Monstera Obliqua Peru is a rare and highly sought-after variety of the Monstera family, known for its uniquely delicate, hole-filled leaves that create a lace-like appearance. With its striking foliage and elegant growth, this plant brings an exotic touch to any collection. Grown in a 20 cm pot, it’s a perfect choice for enthusiasts looking to add a piece of tropical beauty to their indoor garden.

Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some lower light, it will thrive and produce more dramatic foliage in well-lit conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
- Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Ensure the soil is well-draining and avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot. Overwatering can be detrimental, so it’s important to let the soil dry out between waterings.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm, humid conditions, ideally between 18-24°C. Keep the plant away from cold drafts, as it is sensitive to sudden temperature changes.
- Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60% or higher). A humidifier or regular misting can help maintain the ideal environment, especially in dry climates.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix. A blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal to promote proper drainage and root health.
