- Botanical Name: Monstera Dubia
- Common Names: Shingle Plant
- Description: Monstera dubia is one of the smaller, lesser-known monstera varieties, but it’s very beautiful and makes a great addition to any monstera lover’s houseplant collection. You can recognize Monstera dubia by the small, heart-shaped leaves, speckled with both light and dark green. The gorgeous light and dark green patterned leaves make this a beautiful plant. Monstera dubia is sometimes called the “shingle plant” because its leaves lie so flat against the trees it climbs in the wild, creating the appearance of shingles.
- Care: As it climbs, the monstera dubia will adhere to the surface and lay flat like shingles! Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out, which should be every 7-10 days. Place the plant in bright, but indirect sunlight. The sun's rays should never touch the leaves, and your plant should never cast a shadow.
