What Is Monstera fenestrata ‘Culum’?
Monstera fenestrata ‘Culum’ (often traded simply as Fenestratum Culum) is a tropical aroid known for its fenestrated, or naturally split and perforated, leaves. The name “fenestrata” refers to the window-like holes that develop as the plant matures.
This plant grows in warm, humid rainforest environments where it climbs trees using aerial roots. It is not an aquatic plant and should never be submerged. Instead, it thrives in well-draining soil with bright, indirect light and good humidity.
As it matures, the leaves become larger and develop more splits or openings, giving the plant a bold, dramatic appearance.
Structural and tropical, Fenestratum Culum is ideal for indoor plant lovers who enjoy large, statement foliage.
