Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Monstera siltepecana has very unique leaves. While young the foliage is a blue green with silver markings. As it matures these markings fade and the leaves become much larger and start to form holes. As a juvenile plant it is good for terrariums and hanging pots. It can also make a great house plant or tropical garden plant and will form mature leaves if allowed to climb.
