Monstera 'Dubia' (Shingle Plant)

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. 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.

This plant, though lesser-known, commands a presence that belies its size, making it a prized addition to the collections of those who cherish the Monstera family.
