Monstera pinnatipartita

Monstera pinnatipartita is a rare variety in the Monstera genus, prized for its fenestrated foliage. This evergreen climbs with epiphytic aerial roots and can grow up to 2 feet a year if indoor growing conditions are optimal.

What sets this rare species apart is that the fenestration extends further up the dark green, heart-shaped leaves than you see in some of the more familiar monsteras. Despite their show-stopping appearance, these plants are surprisingly easy-to-care-for.

While mature plants certainly have the wow factor, the smaller foliage on juvenile plants is solid rather than fenestrated. So you'll need a bit of patience for the payoff when you buy a baby like this one. And it isn't the preferred pick if you have pets that like to munch on vegetation (most Monsteras are toxic to pets).
