care tips
This monstera can grow well in low light rooms, so it is often seen in shady or poorly lit corners. This plant is happy when kept in a warm place and likes humidity, but it is not a very demanding plant either. You shouldn't water it too much, once a week in summer is enough and once every 10 to 14 days in winter a good splash of water and your Monkey leaf plant will be super happy.
diferences between the monsteras
The Monstera Obliqua is very similar to the Monstera Adansonii, but the former has leaves of a thickness comparable to paper. The Monstera Adansonii, on the other hand, has a slightly coarser and rougher texture.
Another plant from the same family is the Monstera Deliciosa, the big difference between the deliciosa and the Monstera Obliqua is the size of the leaves and the holes. The leaves of Monstera Obliqua have smaller leaves, more holes and can have rounder shapes.
