🌿 Monstera Esqueleto – Dramatic Jungle Statement
Massive, airy, and absolutely breathtaking — the Monstera Esqueleto is a rare species prized for its huge, paper-thin leaves and dramatic fenestrations that look like living lace. Native to the cloud forests of Costa Rica, this climbing beauty develops oversized foliage with exaggerated holes that give it a skeletal, almost ethereal appearance.
Unlike your standard Adansonii or Deliciosa, Esqueleto brings a wild, rainforest feel with a refined silhouette. Its delicate yet bold leaves make it a showpiece plant for collectors who love architectural foliage and statement climbers 🌿✨
🌿 Elegant, rare, and visually striking — Esqueleto is a favourite among serious aroid enthusiasts.
✨ Quick Care Tips
💧 Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil dries. Avoid overwatering — its fine roots prefer light, even moisture.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light encourages large, well-fenestrated leaves. Can tolerate softer light but growth will be slower.
🌫 Humidity: Prefers 60 %+ humidity — mimicking its cloud-forest origins gives the best results.
🌡 Temps: Warm, stable conditions (18–28 °C) are ideal. Protect from cold drafts and sudden drops.
🪴 Soil: A very chunky, airy mix is essential — think bark, perlite, and moss to keep those roots breathing.
🌱 NPG Tip
Give your Esqueleto a sturdy moss pole or support from the get-go — this species climbs fast, and with good humidity and light, the leaves will size up dramatically. A true statement piece that brings rainforest energy into any space 🌿
