Description
Monstera Esqueleto is a stunning Aroid cultivar with dramatically fenestrated leaves that can get massive in size! This climbing Monstera used to be incorrectly referred to as ‘epipremnoides’ which is a very different Monstera species. This stunner is a true must-have for any Aroid collector! Monstera Esqueleto started appearing in private collections in 2018. The plants most likely originated from collections at Kew Gardens, but spread throughout Europe thanks to it being a relatively easy species to propagate.
Monstera Esqueleto is thought to be a wild collected species, of as yet unknown origin. The name Esqueleto originated from a discussion on a Facebook group (‘Monstera Enthusiasts’), where it was suggested by Jody Benicek. The name refers to the mature leaf blades looking like a rib cage with the layout of large perforations.
Monstera Esqueleto is a very robust plant that 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. However, it will love bright indirect light if possible!
Monstera Esqueleto 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 grow leaves of up to around 80cm 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 Esqueleto in an airy potting mix, it should consist of bark, perlite, and peat moss.
Size
This plant is about 12cm tall and comes in a 6cm pot.

Monstera Care Tips
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.
