Monstera karteniana, commonly referred to as Peru Monstera, is a rare and highly sought-after tropical vine known for its thick, leathery leaves that develop dramatic fenestrations (natural splits and holes) as they mature. Its striking foliage creates a bold, architectural look, making it a standout addition to any indoor plant collection. Ideal for moss poles, trellises, or as a statement plant in large pots, Peru Monstera brings lush tropical elegance to indoor spaces.
