Monstera siltepecana 'Aurea' Morphology

About Monstera siltepecana 'Aurea'

Monstera siltepecana 'Aurea' layers irregular golden-yellow marbling over the species' signature silver-mottled juvenile leaf, retaining the same elongated lanceolate shape and satiny, slightly quilted texture rather than replacing the base colour outright. Like the plain species, it displays pronounced heteroblasty, eventually developing perforated, more elongated mature foliage as it climbs, though most specimens in cultivation are grown for the juvenile colouring alone. It keeps the same easy climbing habit and rapid growth rate as siltepecana generally, making it a comparatively accessible way to add a genuine colour form to a Monstera collection.
