Monstera obliqua (WA Prohibited)

A highly specialised Monstera known for its stoloniferous growth. Unlike most Monstera, this species produces runners (stolons) that may have widely spaced or reduced leaves.

This is not a trailing vine like Monstera adansonii or forms such as friedrichsthalii. Growth is often sparse and requires stable, controlled conditions to establish well.

Care

• Light: Bright, filtered light (avoid direct sun)
• Water: Keep lightly moist but never wet
• Temperature: Warm and stable; sensitive to cold
• Humidity: Prefers higher humidity for best growth
• Media: Very open, free-draining mix

Key Characteristics

• Produces stolons (runner-like growth)
• Leaves may be widely spaced or reduced
• Not a typical climbing or trailing Monstera
• Requires stable conditions to establish
• Often confused with Monstera adansonii, but fundamentally different in growth habit
