Silvery siltepecana variant with larger, more compact leaves than the original, develops fenestrations when mature

Monstera siltepecana 'El Salvador' is very similar to the common Monstera siltepecana but has distinct differences in leaf color, and the leaves are somewhat larger even at a young stage. The silver-green leaves are lance-shaped with dark green veins.

This 'El Salvador' variety develops larger leaves with a more compact growth habit that are much more silvery than its common counterpart. Give the plant climbing support and the leaves will grow quite large (even larger than M. deliciosa) and develop fenestrations (holes) as it matures.

Care

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Water when the soil has dried out slightly. Requires high humidity and well-draining, airy soil. Provide climbing support such as a moss pole for larger leaves and fenestrations as it matures. Ideal temperature 18-26 degrees Celsius.

Fertilize monthly during the growing season. Buy Monstera siltepecana 'El Salvador' online!
