Monstera siltepecana

Description

Also known as the ‘Silver Monstera’, this rare vine has a very curious growth pattern which is both intriguing and very fun to observe over time. Throughout its juvenile stage as a young specimen, its leaves start off lance shaped and have an eye-catching silvery-blue glow. As the M. siltepecana matures however, it’s foliage very gradually turns to a dark green and more fascinatingly, develops distinctive fenestration. A beautiful example of the mysterious ways of plants.
