Summary ²

Monstera obliqua is an species of plant in the genus Monstera native to Central and South America. An epiphytic climber like several other Monstera species, obliqua is particularly known for its foliage, which is often highly fenestrated, to the point where there is more empty space than leaf. Quite rare in cultivation, this species is often confused for other Monstera like Monstera adansonii.
