In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at some of the most popular and interesting varieties, complete with pictures to help you identify them. Whether you’re a seasoned plant enthusiast or just getting started with indoor gardening, we hope this guide will help you make an informed decision on the perfect Monstera for your space.

Types Of Monstera

Monstera acacoyaguensis

The Monstera acacoyaguensis is a tropical plant that is native to Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. When grown indoors, it typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet, but in its natural habitat, it can grow up to 20 feet tall.

The leaves of the Monstera acacoyaguensis are oval-shaped and glossy green in color, with a leathery texture. As the plant matures, the leaves become larger and develop perforations along the edges, giving them a unique appearance similar to that of Swiss cheese. The stems of the plant are green and vine-like, rather than the traditional appearance of plant stems.

The flowers of the Monstera acacoyaguensis are small and yellow in color, arranged on a spadix that is surrounded by a leathery spathe with a yellowish-green appearance.

It is important to note that the Monstera acacoyaguensis is toxic to humans and pets, so it should be kept out of reach of children and pets to avoid any accidental ingestion.

Monstera acuminata

Monstera acuminata is a climbing, tropical plant that is known for its characteristic fenestrated leaves. It grows more slowly when it’s young and ramps up its growth rate as it matures. In the wild, the young plant will creep along the ground until it finds a tree or other surface to climb. As the plant matures and climbs higher toward the rainforest canopy, it will start to develop those characteristic fenestrations.

The Monstera acuminata also reproduces by putting out runners (long, leafless stems) that can sometimes reach up to 65 feet long. In the wild, it can grow up to 65 feet in length, but usually won’t exceed 7 or 8 feet long indoors. It can take several years of the right growing conditions to reach its maximum indoor length.

In its juvenile form, the leaves of Monstera acuminata are very heart-shaped, thick, waxy and around 4 inches long, but leaves on a mature plant can reach up to 10 inches long. When the plant is young, its leaves grow in a shingle pattern, sometimes overlapping each other and lying close to the surface it’s growing on, much like Monstera dubia, another popular, smaller monstera variety. Fenestrations may not show up on smaller plants for several years. This makes it easy to tell young plants apart from acuminata’s similar cousin, the adansonii, which produces fenestrated leaves from the get-go.

Monstera acuminata grows cream-colored incandescences, which are clusters of small flowers. Once the plant has matured, it can bloom year-round, though it rarely blooms indoors. In the proper conditions, this plant also grows small, berry-like fruits.

Monstera adansonii

Monstera adansonii is a tropical, jungle plant that is native to Central and South America, parts of southern Mexico, and the West Indies. It is part of the Araceae plant family and looks similar to its cousin, Monstera deliciosa, but does not grow anywhere near as large. Instead of the huge indents in their leaves, they develop large oval holes as they mature, giving them the appearance of swiss cheese.

The leaf of the Monstera adansonii is heart or oval-shaped, designed to capture sunlight efficiently despite all those holes. These plants typically dwell deep in tropical rainforests and need only indirect bright lighting to thrive. As the plant matures, its leaves gradually develop more and more of their distinctive holes. These holes serve another purpose beyond filtering the sunlight down to the plant, by allowing the plant to resist high winds by simply letting the breeze pass on through. And unlike its relative M. deliciosa, M. adansonii always keeps the full edges of its leaf, so the holes remain holes instead of deep indentations.

In the spring months, Monstera adansonii develops a cream-colored flower with hints of purple. It does not always appear for home growers, but in the wild, it’s a common sight. A popular cultivar of this plant is Monstera adansonii ‘Archipelago’, which has variegated leaf coloring, making it even more visually appealing.

The plant’s growth habit is as a climber. It produces aerial roots from the stem which can grasp onto the bark of trees or other foliage. However, it also makes a beautiful cascading plant in a hanging basket. Monstera adansonii is notoriously quick and easy to grow, no matter which way you choose to grow it.

Monstera alcirana

Monstera alcirana is a species of tropical plant that is endemic to Panamá. It is one of the small species of Monstera in Central America and is morphologically similar to other species such as M. obliqua, M. minima, and M. gambensis. However, it can be distinguished by its short internodes, thickly coriaceous (leathery) blade, and peduncle that is longer than the length of the leaf.

The leaves of Monstera alcirana are glossy green in color and have a thick, leathery texture. The leaves are oval-shaped and have smooth edges. The stems of the plant are green and vine-like in appearance.

This species of Monstera is not commonly found in cultivation, and not much is known about its growth habit and requirements. It is important to note that Monstera alcirana is not commonly found for sale and as such, it is considered a rare plant.

Monstera anomala

Monstera anomala is a tropical, climbing plant that is native to Costa Rica to Panama. It grows primarily in the wet tropical biome and is known for its glossy green leaves. The leaves are typically oval-shaped, and as the plant matures, the leaves become larger and develop fenestrations along the edges.

The stems of the Monstera anomala are green and are vine-like in appearance. They produce aerial roots from the stem which can grasp onto the bark of trees or other foliage, allowing it to climb and thrive in its natural habitat.

The plant is not commonly found in cultivation, not much is known about its growth habits and requirements. It is considered a rare plant.

Monstera aureopinnata

Monstera aureopinnata is a tropical, climbing plant that is native to SE. Colombia to N. Peru. This large shrub grows 5-10 ft tall and prefers semi-shade. It is quite hardy, being capable of surviving in USDA Zone 9-11. Without much effort in the form of pruning, this hardy plant develops impressive aerial roots and a full, lush canopy. With regular water and moderate fertilization, Monstera aureopinnata will thrive in almost any garden.

Monstera aureopinnata is an ideal choice for those who want the unmistakable leaf shape and foliage of the Monstera species, but don’t have the space for a full-sized vine or creeper. It’s easy to cultivate, and with minimal effort can look great even in cold regions.

When planting Monstera aureopinnata, it is important to ensure that the soil is light and well-draining to prevent root rot. The soil should also be kept moist, although not wet, with regular waterings and monthly fertilization. As this is a fast-growing plant, it will need to be repotted at least once every few years to provide sufficient space for its roots to grow.

Monstera barrieri

Monstera barrieri is an extremely rare and enigmatic species of tropical plant that is native to French Guiana. Unlike most other Monstera species, barrieri has a unique growth habit of shingling in an upward fashion.

The leaves of the plant are thick and velvety when it is young, but as it matures, it begins to develop fenestrations, which is a characteristic of many Monstera species. The fenestrations on Monstera barrieri are dramatic, with a more jagged and structured shape compared to other species such as M. subpinnata.

This species of Monstera is not commonly found in cultivation, and not much is known about its growth habit and requirements. It is important to note that Monstera barrieri is extremely rare and is considered a highly sought-after plant among collectors and enthusiasts.

This species of Monstera is not commonly found in cultivation and not much is known about its growth habits and requirements. Due to its limited distribution and rarity, little is known about the plant’s natural habitat, ecology and its specific needs to thrive in cultivation.

Monstera croatii

Monstera croatii is a newly discovered species of tropical climbing plant that is native to Costa Rica. It belongs to the Araceae family and is known for its elegant, fenestrated leaves. As the plant matures, the fenestration, or the perforations, on the leaves extends to the ends of the leaves, which is a very unique characteristic for a Monstera species.

Like most Monstera varieties, this plant prefers moist but well-draining soil and some humidity. It is a climbing plant and should be staked or allowed to climb up moss poles. In higher humidity environments, numerous aerial roots will form, which gives the plant a beautiful look.

Monstera croatii is a relatively new species, and not much is known about its growth habits and requirements. However, it is considered a highly sought-after plant among collectors and enthusiasts due to its unique leaf characteristics. It is relatively rare, and it is not commonly found in cultivation.

Monstera deliciosa

Monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss cheese plant or split-leaf philodendron, is a species of flowering plant native to tropical forests of southern Mexico, south to Panama. It is a woody, perennial, broad-leaved evergreen, climbing vine that belongs to the Araceae (arum) family.

In its native habitat, it starts its life as a terrestrial plant, turning epiphytic once it comes into contact with a sturdy tree it can climb. It can grow to 70 feet tall in the wild, but it typically stays between 6 to 8 feet in most home environments.

The leaves are large and glossy, with perforations along the edges, giving them a unique appearance similar to that of Swiss cheese. It typically does not produce flowers or fruits in interior landscapes but it can produce an edible fruit that is said to taste like a cross between a banana and pineapple in its natural habitat.

Monstera deliciosa is a popular houseplant and is known for its ability to thrive in a wide range of conditions. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It is a fast-growing plant and will need to be repotted regularly to provide sufficient space for its roots to grow.

Monstera dissecta

Monstera dissecta is a very rare or uncommon tropical climbing plant that is native to Belize, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, Peru, and North Brazil.

It is known for its unique leaf characteristics, where the juvenile plant has entire, oval to lance-shaped, leathery, and glossy green leaves. As the plant matures, the leaves become larger and pinnatifid (split), forming a tight cluster at the stem top. The leaves also have petiole with sheaths and their sheath wings that persist and don’t dry and fall.

In its natural habitat, Monstera dissecta can grow up to about 32 feet (10m) long, but it will reach about 4 to 8 feet as a houseplant. It needs a place to climb and grow.

The plant also produces small, white inflorescence flowers that are borne on a spadix and surrounded by a white spathe. The flower’s stalk is slightly longer than the spadix by about 0.4 inches.

Monstera dubia

Monstera dubia is a smaller and lesser-known variety of the monstera plant family. It is known for its unique leaf characteristics, which are small and heart-shaped with speckles of light and dark green. These leaves are characteristic of the juvenile stage of the plant, which is typically the stage seen indoors.

Unlike other monstera varieties, Monstera dubia does not have the iconic slits and holes in its leaves, known as fenestration, which makes it easily recognizable as a monstera. However, the beautiful light and dark green patterned leaves make this a beautiful plant in its own right.

One interesting fact about Monstera dubia is that it is sometimes called the “shingle plant” because its leaves lie so flat against the trees it climbs in the wild, creating the appearance of shingles.

This plant is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of monstera plants and makes a great addition to any houseplant collection. It prefers moist but well-draining soil and some humidity, and should be staked or allowed to climb up moss poles.

Monstera egregia

Monstera egregia is a species of flowering plant that is considered rare, and not much is known about its growth habits and requirements. The information available is limited to its native range, Central and South Mexico to Belize.

Monstera epipremnoides

Monstera epipremnoides, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a tropical evergreen vine that is native to Central and South America. It is known for its large leaves that resemble Swiss cheese, with holes and perforations that appear as the leaves mature. The shape of the leaves also changes from entire to pinnatifid as they mature. It can grow up to 13 feet tall in its natural habitat.

This plant is not tolerant of direct sunlight and wet soil. It prefers moderate light and average humidity, making it well-suited for indoor environments. To thrive, it needs rich, well-drained soil that is not allowed to dry out completely, a soilless recipe works well. This plant can be easily propagated by cuttings. It has no serious pest or disease problems.

It has been mistaken for M. standleyana in herbaria.

Monstera lechleriana

Monstera lechleriana is a species of tropical climbing plant in the genus Monstera and family Araceae. It is known for its highly fenestrated leaves, which develop holes as the plant matures. Young plants may not have any holes at all, which can make it difficult to identify them.

The leaves of a mature Monstera lechleriana can grow up to 10 inches long with rounded holes close to the central rib of the leaf. These plants prefer to climb and can grow up to 8 feet tall indoors if provided with a support such as a moss pole or trellis.

A variegated form of Monstera lechleriana is also known to exist, but it is extremely rare and expensive. These plants have a beautiful marbled white and dark-green variegation, but they can be harder to keep alive than their non-variegated counterparts due to their need for more sunlight and their sensitivity to direct sunlight.

Monstera lentii

Monstera lentii is a species of flowering plant in the arum family, native to Costa Rica and western Panama. It belongs to the genus Monstera, which is known for its large, perforated leaves. Not much information is available about this specific species, as it is not well-studied or widely cultivated. However, it is likely that it grows primarily in the wet tropical biome of its native range, and may share similar characteristics with other Monstera species such as aerial roots and a climbing habit.

Monstera limitaris

Monstera limitaris is a recently discovered species from the border between Costa Rica and Panama. It is known for its unique leaf characteristics, including verruculose (warty or bumpy) petioles at the base, semi-persistent and convolute (folded or rolled) sheaths, and crenate (toothed or scalloped) geniculum margins. The leaves of this species also have pinnatifid (deeply lobed or divided) margins and fenestrations (holes or perforations) along the midrib.

This species also has distinctive inflorescence characteristics, such as a white-yellowish acuminate (tapering to a point) spathe, a creamy-white spadix, and flowers with lateral-flattened stigmatophore (the part of the pistil that receives the pollen) and linear stigma (the receptive part of the pistil) which have a colorless stigmatic secretion.
