A hemiepiphytic climber native to Mexico and Central America. Adult leaves are ovate to elliptic, featuring numerous fenestrations (holes) along the midrib, but unlike Monstera deliciosa, the leaf margins are typically entire and not pinnatifid. The specific epithet refers to the village of Acacoyagua in Chiapas, Mexico.
Monstera acuminata is a climbing aroid native to Central America and southern Mexico. It produces elongated, acuminate (tapering to a sharp point) leaves that develop fenestrations (natural holes or perforations) and sinuses (indentations along the margins) as the plant matures. Juvenile leaves are smaller and entire, while adult leaves can reach 30–60 cm in length. The species is a hemiepiphyte, beginning life on the forest floor and climbing host trees using aerial roots.
Monstera alfaroi is a climbing hemiepiphytic aroid native to Central America. It produces fenestrated leaves with elliptic to ovate blades that develop characteristic holes and perforations as the plant matures. The species is characterized by its relatively slender stems and elongated internodes.
Monstera amargalensis is a climbing aroid native to Central America, characterized by its fenestrated leaves with holes and splits typical of the Monstera genus. It produces aerial roots that anchor the plant to host trees as it climbs. The leaves are large and leathery, developing fenestrations as the plant matures.
A terrestrial or epiphytic species characterized by heart-shaped leaves and a prominent spathe with a cylindrical spadix. The spathe is typically waxy in texture and comes in various colors including red, pink, white, and orange. Leaves are dark green, glossy, and leathery. Can reach 30-60 cm in height under cultivation.
Monstera anomala is a climbing aroid native to Central and South America. It produces fenestrated leaves with irregular holes and perforations, which are characteristic of the genus. The species is an epiphytic or hemiepiphytic vine that attaches to host trees using aerial roots.
