Monstera 'Peru'
Botanical Name: Monstera karstenianum
The Monstera Peru is a rare tropical species prized for its thick, glossy, textured leaves that shimmer with deep emerald-green hues. Unlike many Monsteras, the Peru doesn’t develop fenestrations — instead, its leathery foliage features dramatic, sculptural veining that gives it a bold, exotic appearance. Native to the rainforests of South America, this fast-growing climber brings rich color and lush texture to any indoor collection.
