Why We Recommend It
- Monkey Mask is known for its smaller perforated leaves, giving the Monstera look in a lighter, more compact form.
- It works well trained up a support or allowed to trail from shelves, plant stands or hanging baskets.
- A useful indoor option where customers want interesting foliage without the larger footprint of Monstera deliciosa.
