About trees
Monstera adansonii 'Indonesian Marble' belongs to the Araceae family and is a climbing vine that uses aerial roots to attach to surfaces, with leaves that enlarge or develop fenestrations when given suitable age and conditions. Its selected-cultivar name distinguishes its horticultural character from the base species, while its mature color and form still depend on growing conditions. As the canopy gradually establishes, the details of the leaves and internodes become clearer, so leave enough room for the plant to develop its natural form. Leaf color, thickness, and size may change with the plant's age, light levels, and root health.
For long-term cultivation, provide bright indirect light, a coarse airy growing medium, and a support for the stem to climb. Check the medium before every watering and avoid moving the plant abruptly from shade into intense sun. It is suitable for creating vertical structure and a tropical-forest atmosphere through its distinctive foliage. If the plant must be moved or its conditions changed, do so gradually and wait for new growth before assessing its final color and form.
