Meet the climbing cousin of the classic Monstera deliciosa. Known internally at our nursery as Monstera pertusum, this vigorous grower has been carefully selected and propagated from our own mother plants — chosen for their elegant leaf shape, faster growth, and strong aerial rooting.
While not botanically distinct from Monstera deliciosa, this selection behaves noticeably differently: the internodes are longer, the leaves more elongated, and the climbing habit more pronounced — especially when given support early on.
As the plant matures, the leaves can develop impressive fenestrations and even reach the same spectacular size as those of shrub-form deliciosa plants. In the right conditions, pertusum becomes a dynamic statement plant: vertical, architectural, and endlessly rewarding to grow.
We’ve grown and selected this climbing form for years, with a focus on strong roots and balanced development. If you’re looking for a Monstera with momentum — one that reaches upward rather than spreading outward — this is the one.
