A 'miniature' Monstera. Smaller in scale than 'deliciosa', and with a more dense and vine-like habit, this plant will bring a delicate silhouette to a bright spot. 

Like its larger cousins, the aerial roots which appear along its twining stems are an adaptation to allow it to grasp tree trunks (and any moist surface) in nature: a clue that while happy to tumble and trail, this chap really wants to climb!

These adaptable plants will tolerate a range of conditions, but with their origins in the dense and humid tropics they will truly dazzle given warmth, bright light and regular, consistent watering.
