Monstera Siltepecana is a bit of a hidden gem in the Monstera family, not as famous as some of its siblings, this plant is delicate, elegant, and a favourite in the shop. Its narrow, elongated leaves are a soft silver-green with dark veins running through, giving it a mystical look.

Native to the tropical forests of Mexico and Central America, this Monstera is a natural climber. Give it a moss pole or let it trail from a pot, either way, it’s a fast grower that is really rewarding once it gets going. Bright, indirect light is ideal, and it prefers the soil to stay lightly moist. It’ll appreciate a bit of extra humidity too, especially in drier homes.

Siltepecana’s silvery sheen makes it a lovely contrast to darker foliage, and its growth habit will give dimension to any space, without completely dominating.
