Monstera Karstenianum (Peru)

If you’ve been searching for a beautiful plant to “spruce up” your house but don’t want a plant that takes a lot of attention and care, you’ll fall in love with this Monstera practically instantly.

Although it is a reasonably unusual plant that thrives predominantly in subtropical and rainforest settings, this plant appears to have been designed specifically for a houseplant. It’s difficult to imagine a more beautiful or more straightforward to care for the plant than this one, which is relatively tiny and has lovely, leather-like green leaves with an iridescence to them.

All you really need to do is make sure it receives indirect light, water it regularly, and plant it in well-draining soil, and you should be ready to go.

However, if you want to maintain the beautiful and healthy, you’ll need to know all of the ins and outs of caring for them. That is why we have compiled this comprehensive guide for you.
