About

Monstera dubia is a famous shingling aroid native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. In its juvenile stage, it is known for heart-shaped, silver-variegated leaves that shingle flat against trees or boards. As it climbs and matures, it undergoes a dramatic transformation, losing its silver variegation and producing large, fenestrated green leaves that resemble Monstera deliciosa. This species is highly popular for showcasing the remarkable process of plant morphogenesis.
