Monstera Obliqua is one of the rarest and most delicate Monstera species, native to tropical Central and South America. Its leaves are exceptionally thin and often have more holes than leaf tissue, creating a lace-like, ethereal appearance that dazzles collectors. This slow-growing and ultra-fenestrated aroid is ideal for experienced growers seeking a truly rare botanical treasure.
