5 Care Tips for Monstera obliqua 'Peru'

Bright, indirect light – Essential to support growth without burning its fragile leaves.

High humidity (80–90%) – This plant thrives in extremely humid conditions, similar to its native rainforest habitat.

Consistent moisture – Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. It’s sensitive to both over- and underwatering.
