monsteramonstera
genusgenusTropical climbing plants known for their large, distinctive leaves that often have natural splits or holes. These plants are popular for their bold, dramatic foliage that can add a jungle vibe to any space.
Etymology
The name 'Monstera' comes from the Latin word 'monstrum,' meaning 'monster' or 'remarkable,' likely referring to their impressive size and unusual leaf patterns.
Interesting fact!
The natural holes in their leaves, called fenestrations, are believed to help the plants withstand heavy tropical winds and allow more light to reach their lower leaves.
