Details

Enjoy a climbing/trailing Monstera that’s variegated AND easy to grow by adding Monstera siltepecana (sometimes called Silver Monstera) to your collection!

Plant Bio

Monstera siltepecana

Originally found in tropical rainforests from Mexico to Panama (its name, siltepecana, comes from the town where it’s said to be first discovered, Siltepec, near the Mexico/Guatemala border), Monstera siltepecana is surprisingly well suited to life as a houseplant.

You don’t need to have tropical rainforest conditions to be successful with your plant. But starting with lots of bright light helps. Inside as a houseplant, the more light it gets, the better. It tolerates lower light levels, but you’ll find it’s even easier growing with more light than less.

Water as the top half or so of the soil dries to the touch. If you’re not sure if it needs water or not, it’s usually better to wait as it would prefer to be a bit too dry than a bit too wet. It will start to wilt if it gets excessively dry, but it’s best to prevent wilt if you can.

This houseplant grows well in average household temperatures, but thanks to its tropical roots, it holds up to heatwaves and doesn’t require particular care when the mercury soars. Do try to keep it over about 50F/10C for best results.

It does all right in average household relative humidity levels but prefers above-average relative humidity (over 50 percent) if you’re able to provide it.

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
