Monstera 'Peru'
Botanical Name: Monstera karstenianum
The Monstera Peru is a rare and highly sought-after tropical vine, prized for its thick, glossy leaves and deep emerald-green color. Unlike typical Monsteras, the Peru doesn’t develop fenestrations — instead, its textured, leathery leaves feature intricate veining that gives it a sculptural, almost reptilian look. Native to the rainforests of South America, this easy-care aroid thrives indoors and makes a striking addition to any plant collection.
