We loves the holes in the leaves of this Monstera, such a super stylish statement plant! Part of the Monstera family, the Monstera Obliqua or 'Monkey Mask' plant - is a really stunning looking houseplant - its emerald green leaves are full of holes! Usually Monstera have splits along the leaves but the Monkey Monstera has holes through the leaves, which give it that classic ‘nibbled’ look.
 
A really interesting houseplant to look at, the Monstera Monkey Leaf originates in the jungles of South and Central America, so when you are thinking about Monstera Monkey Mask care, think of the climate and conditions in the rainforest. Humidity is high, rainfall is occasional and heavy, light is bright but usually shaded by taller trees.  You can replicate these conditions in a steamy kitchen or bathroom at home, and even in a warm living room!
 
The Monstera Monkey Mask can be trained to climb up a pole indoors, or it can be left so that the leaves grow and spill over the sides of a pot.
It looks stunning in our Large Tembessi pot!
 
If you’d like to surprise someone special by giving this Monstera as an indoor plant gift, we can give it an extra personal touch by including a free, handwritten card, delivered along with your order. We’ll leave out the paperwork so no one will see the price but they will love the present!

Where should I put this Monstera?
Monstera Obliqua likes a humid atmosphere, bright but not in full sun. Put a layer of pebbles topped up with water under the plastic pot for it to sit on to increase the humidity. 
 
How should I water my Monstera Obliqua?
Think of the rainforest and water only when the top few inches of soil are dry. Do not allow it to sit in water but remove excess water from the saucer after watering.
 
Should I feed the Monkey Mask?
You can give it a feed once a month in spring and summer - try our vegan, organic plant food.
 
Is it pet safe?
No, it can be toxic to pets if eaten.
 
What size is the plant?
W27cm x H70cm plus - it will make a huge impact!
