In comparison to the more popular Monstera deliciosa or Monstera adansonii, the Monstera dubia is a rarer and less well-known variety of the Monstera, but its stunning variegation and unique growth pattern make it a wonderful addition to any collection of houseplants. Monstera dubia is a creeping vine that climbs trees and substantial plants in its native habitat of tropical Central and South America. Small, heart-shaped leaves with light and dark green variegation that lie flat on the surface they are growing on are a distinctive feature of juvenile plants. In contrast, Monstera deliciosas closely resemble mature Monstera dubia plants, which are typically only found in the wild and have huge fenestrations and no variegation. The mature Monstera dubia leaves hang from the vines, in contrast to the young leaves.
