Monstera dubia (H45)

Monstera dubia - a rare botanical species, endemic to the tropical forests of Mexico and South America. It is a remarkable plant, due to its unique appearance, growth style, but also the spectacular transformation it undergoes when it matures.
In its juvenile form, the plant has small to medium-sized, heart-shaped leaves with silvery, almost reflective variegation, interrupted by green veins. The newly opened leaves also have a fascinating appearance - they are colored in semi-transparent silver-green shades.
As it matures, the transformation of the leaves is dramatic - they become elongated, the silver variegation begins to fade, and the fenestrations and perforations specific to the genus appear. The adult leaf reaches a length of 38 cm.
Synonyms: Monstera acreana, Monstera irritans, Marcgavia dubia.
