Monstera Esqueleto, Epipremnoides – Care
Formerly Monstera epipremnoides, the Monstera esqueleto is an epiphyte endemic to Costa Rican cloud forests. It is the bigger brother of Monstera adansonii, but as fascinating, known for its fenestrations (holes in the leaf that thrives in high humidity and brightly lit locations. The Monstera Esqueleto, scientifically known as Monstera Epipremnoides, is a captivating houseplant prized for its unique, highly fenestrated leaves. Caring for this plant is similar to caring for other Monsteras, but with a few key considerations:
Light:
- Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
- A spot near a window with filtered sunlight or in the shade of larger plants is perfect.
Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
- Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s crucial to ensure proper drainage.
Humidity:
- Monstera Esqueleto thrives in high humidity. Regular misting or a humidifier can help create the ideal environment, especially in dry indoor conditions.
Temperature:
- The ideal temperature range is between 65°F and 80°F (18°C and 27°C). Avoid placing the plant near drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil:
- Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A blend designed for aroids or tropical plants is a good choice.
Fertilizing:
- Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.1
Support:
- As a climbing plant, Monstera Esqueleto benefits from a support structure like a moss pole or trellis. This encourages upward growth and larger leaves.
Repotting:
- Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot slightly larger than the previous one and refresh the potting mix.
Common Problems:
- Yellowing leaves: Can be a sign of overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiencies.
- Brown leaf tips: Often caused by low humidity or dry soil.
- Lack of fenestrations: Insufficient light can hinder the development of holes in the leaves.
Additional Tips:
- Regularly wipe down the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking their best.
- Prune the plant to control its size and shape.
- Be patient! Monstera Esqueleto can be a slow grower, but its unique foliage makes it well worth the wait.
With proper care, your Monstera Esqueleto will thrive and add a touch of tropical elegance to your home.
