The Monstera Lechleriana is a large leafed, climbing monstera with lots of beautiful leaf fenestrations This plant is somewhat rare, the variegated form is especially difficult to source at the moment However, there are some of these beauties available through Etsy

All Monsteras prefer well draining soil The roots require lots of oxygen and will rot quickly if they sit in moist soil

The Monstera Lechleriana can grow in many different kinds of pots

Repot when the roots are growing out the bottom, and only go one size larger

Your Lachleriana will enjoy growing on a moss pole so it can be fed and moisturized as it climbs This will give you both excellent leaf growth and plant size

You will not see optimal leaf fenstrations unless the plant has the proper light conditions Bright, filtered sunlight from a window will produce best color, leaf size, and plant growth

Water your Monstera when the soil is dry at least an inch down These aroid plants are typically drought resistant and can withstand longer periods of dryness compared to other houseplants

Like all Monstera, the Lechleriana enjoys a humid environment Keep the plant at 60% humidity or higher for best growth and hydration The Monstera plant will do best in temperatures between 65-85 degrees F

Monstera plants benefit from monthly leaf washing to dust and pests off
