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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a young starter plant — small, affordable, and already wearing the signature windows that make an esqueleto so sought after. It is rooting into a clear cup so you can watch the roots take hold. Give it a moss pole and bright indirect light, and the growth that follows will be even more impressive than what you see here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:'Playfair Display',serif;color:#1a3a2a;font-size:18px;margin:24px 0 8px\"\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect.
