About

Monstera epipremnoides, nicknamed 'Esqueleto' for the narrow ribs of leaf tissue left between its long, slender fenestrations, becomes even more dramatic in this variegated form. Crisp white and cream sectoring breaks across the thin, skeletal blade, sometimes bisecting entire leaf halves and sometimes appearing as fine marbling along the ribs. The overall silhouette is more delicate and lace-like than the bolder deliciosa-type Monsteras, and the variegation only heightens the airy, intricate look the species is collected for.
