Variant

Monstera Siltepecana, often referred to as the Silver Monstera, is a captivating tropical plant renowned for its unique and attractive foliage. This climbing evergreen is native to Central and South America, where it thrives in the dense, humid rainforests. It features elongated, heart-shaped leaves with a stunning silvery-blue sheen and dark green veins, creating a striking contrast. As the plant matures, the leaves develop more pronounced fenestrations typical of many Monstera species. Monstera Siltepecana is relatively fast-growing under the right conditions and can be trained to climb a Moss Pole or allowed to trail from a hanging basket, making it versatile in home decor.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Monstera Siltepecana

Sun: Indirect

Monstera Siltepecana should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Monstera Siltepecana will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Monstera Siltepecana needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

Monstera Siltepecana will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Caution

Monstera Siltepecana is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Botanical Name: Monstera siltepecana

Common Name: Silver Monstera

Origin: Central and South America

Plant Story

Introducing the Monstera Siltepecana, a stunning and versatile houseplant that not only enhances your indoor jungle with its distinctive foliage but also symbolizes growth, transformation, and the beauty of natural patterns.

The Monstera Siltepecana, a lesser-known member of the Monstera family, is celebrated for its unique leaf structure and coloration. In its juvenile stage, the leaves are small and elongated, featuring a deep green colour with striking silver variegation. As the plant matures, the leaves grow larger and begin to develop the characteristic fenestrations (holes) that Monsteras are known for, showcasing the plant’s remarkable ability to transform as it ages.

To care for your Monstera Siltepecana, provide it with bright, indirect light. While it can adapt to lower light levels, indirect sunlight helps promote vigorous growth and maintains the vibrancy of its silver variegation. This plant thrives in a humid environment, so consider using a humidifier or placing it in a naturally humid room, like a bathroom with natural light.

Watering should be done when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. The Monstera Siltepecana’s preference for well-drained but consistently moist soil teaches us the importance of balance in providing care—adequate hydration without saturation.

The Monstera Siltepecana is not only a visual treat but also a testament to the adaptability and resilience of nature. Its transition from juvenile to mature leaves reminds us of the potential for growth and change within ourselves and the importance of nurturing through different phases of life.

As your Monstera Siltepecana matures, it becomes not just a plant but a symbol of the continual growth and transformation we experience throughout our lives. It encourages us to embrace change and recognize the beauty in the evolution of our own journeys.

Welcome the Monstera Siltepecana into your home, and let it inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world's complexity, the transformative power of growth, and the intricate beauty that comes with every stage of life. It’s not just a plant; it’s a celebration of the dynamic and ever-evolving patterns of existence.
