Monstera Acacoyaguensis is a rare tropical Aroid with semi-leathery, glossy green juvenile leaves. As it matures, unlike many other Monstera, it does not get split leaves, but retains the entire margin while developing perforations. This makes for a very beautiful, unique look every Monstera lover will fall for!

Native to native to Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico, Monstera Acacoyaguensis is a member of the Aroid family. It requires bright indirect light, moist soil, moderate temperatures, and high humidity levels. However, if you have some experience with tropical houseplants, then growing Monstera acacoyaguensis will b e a breeze.

Monstera Acacoyaguensis can tolerate a little bit of neglect when it comes to water. Yet, do not let them dry out completely too often. Ideally, water them when the top 3 cm of soil are dry. Monstera don’t need the brightest spot in your home in order to thrive, but will grow better and faster in bright indirect light.

Like other Monstera, Monstera Acacoyaguensis loves to climb, so it will require climbing support for upright growth. Only then its leaves will reach their full potential in terms of size. Mature plants can reach 3 metres in height, even at home, and mature leaves of up to around giant in length, so it is worth the effort, if you ask us! Ultimately, you should use a moss or coco pole for support, but our brass plant support and our golden plant stakes will make great starter poles for this plant.

Make sure you plant your Monstera Acacoyaguensis in an airy potting mix, like our very own Aroid Potting Mix, or make a similar one yourself. It should consist of bark, perlite, and peat moss.

Light

Monsteras thrive best in bright indirect light. It will tolerate much lower light conditions, but will grow much more slowly if at all. Do not expose your Monstera to direct light or you might risk crispy, burnt leaves.

Water

Monsteras like their soil to stay moist, but never wet. Water when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch.

Most Monsteras will tolerate drying out if you miss a watering, but try not to overdo it or you might cause its roots to shrivel up and rot when watered again. When its leaves look droopy is when you should water your Monstera at the latest, but it is better not to let it get to that point all too often!

Also, do not water your Monstera when the top half of the soil is still moist or you will risk root rot. Always remove excess water from the saucer to avoid the plant sitting in water.

Humidity

Monsteras are tropical plants and will appreciate high humidity. However, they make for such great houseplants because they do not require it to thrive. Moderate humidity 50% will work well for most Monsteras.

Temperature

Monsteras, being tropical plants, prefer temperatures of no lower than 15 and no higher than 30 degrees Celsius. Ideally, they should be grown in usual household temperatures.

Soil

Monsteras love growing in a very well-draining, loose substrate, such as our Aroid Potting Mix, which was developed specifically for plants in the Aroid family.

If you prefer mixing soil yourself, we recommend a mix of 1/3 bark, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coco coir.

Toxicity

Monsteras are toxic to pets and humans when ingested. Typically, ingestion will cause stomach irritation and potentially vomiting.
