Monstera epipremnoides 'Esqueleto'

Mailed anywhere in the US - or picked up at Above the Dirt Garden Shop.

Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which can burn leaves. Lower light can cause leggier growth and fewer fenestrations.

Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. Slightly moist, but not soggy. 

Humidity: Ideally, it prefers 60% humidity and up, though it can tolerate indoor humidity. Use a humidifier, group with other plants, or place over a pebble tray if the leaf edges brown.

Temperature: 60–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts and vents.

Growth Tip: Give it a moss pole, plank, or trellis. Climbing encourages larger leaves and stronger fenestrations. 

Why we love it: “Esqueleto” means skeleton in Spanish, referring to the dramatic holes in the leaves. In the jungle, these plants produce the fenestrations to filter light through to lower leaves as they climb trees. It also allows airflow through leaves to avoid wind damage too!
