Insights
The Monstera's leaf-holes are called fenestrations, which help to maximise sun fleck capture on the forest floor by increasing the spread of the leaf, while decreasing the mass of leaf cells to support. As the plant matures, these holes eventually grow toward the edge of the leaf, causing it to open into a decorative fan shape.
Details
- Position: Indirect sunlight
- Soil: Use a well draining, aerated potting soil mix
