Description
⚠️
Winston Flagged. Toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or eaten, and irritating to humans too — the leaves carry calcium oxalate crystals that cause immediate mouth and throat irritation. Keep it up and out of reach of pets and little hands. If a pet gets into it, call your vet or the ASPCA Poison Control line (888-426-4435) right away.
✦ The Plantry Plant Co. ✦
"A great deal of presence for a young cutting. When a leaf can command this much attention — those deep, sweeping fenestrations carving through the blade like stained glass — you know you're looking at something exceptional. This is a statement piece in waiting." — Mr. Phileas Plant
The Plant
The Monstera esqueleto (Monstera epipremnoides) is one of the most coveted aroids in cultivation. Named "esqueleto" — Spanish for skeleton — for fenestrations so dramatic they reduce the leaf to an intricate framework of veins and tissue. Native to the cloud forests of Costa Rica, this climbing beauty produces increasingly elaborate perforations as it matures.
This is a rooted cutting with a spectacular, fully fenestrated leaf and a well-established root system visible through the clear pot. It's a strong foundation — give it a moss pole and bright indirect light, and the next leaf will be even more impressive than the one you see here.
