I felt the need to produce a video on the specifics of Monstera obliqua as a surprising number of people do not understand it’s true rarity…
This video breaks down into the following categories. BUT I strongly advise you to watch the whole video rather than simply looking at the differences or you will not leave with a true understanding of Monstera Obliqua.
The Monstera obliqua featured is Peruvian form and has been verified by Mick Mittermeier. It is a genuine specimen.
Please do not spam Mick’s instagram with pictures of your adansonii with a hopeful identification of obliqua.

A quick word on Monstera Epipremnoides to avoid some of the confusion: it is also a super rare plant and will not accidentally be sold in shops. Mick Mittermeier himself has had some trouble sourcing these kinds of plants. I apologise if I've made people think they might have Epipremnoides- it cannot be found in shops! You have Adansonii I promise! Lol 😂😅

Hi Kaylee! First of all, I love your videos, especially your rare plant indexes, hauls and just your general aura! You make amazing videos basically! Now, I am so confused between the three forms - of course, I clearly see the differences when you show them in this video, however all adansoniis are very different I find. On the Swedish bidding market place "Tradera", a lot of people are selling them :) Can you make a more in depth video on how to differentiate the three forms, with more different plants of the same form or something? Good work!

@christhomas4505 5 лет назад

The obliqua is cool because of its rarity - but if it wasn't so rare and someone offered me the choice between it and adansonii, I'd take the adansonii. I like to see my plants grow new leaves, etc. I don't think I'd like just having runners grow from my plant. I guess if I owned it I would keep it in a vivarium then with humidity and artificial light. For me I'm happy with adansonii- but cool to know! I hope people don't destroy these delicate plants by harvesting too many from the wild

@christmassnow3465 4 года назад

Nevertheless, it is a fast proliferator rather than a fast grower. You can let the new plants cover the ground instead of climbing. That is, if you have the suitable conditions.

Such an interesting video! I did know about the Obliqua being extremely rare.

Also thanks for clearing something up, I have got two Adonsonii's but they look quite different. Which always had me puzzled. But I now think one is the round form and the other is the regular form.

I bought a beautiful Monstera Obliqua (that's how it was labeled) a couple months ago at my local nursery. It was looking very good with big leaves and I didn't knew the plant so I bought it. this video made me realize that it is not an Obliqua but its an Adonsonii. Lucky for me it was only 12 euros :) but maybe I should let the nursery know when I see it the next time cause I generally think they don't know the difference. Thanks for the amazing video with so much information! my Adonsonii is doing great btw. its climbing on a little wooden stairs I made.

I’m assuming this doesn’t apply anymore? I see lots of obliqua these days, maybe after this video folks started to capitalize on the ‘rarity’ of the plant. I’ve watched other plant RU-vidrs lately referencing that people ‘pretended it was rare and fragile’…wondering if anyone can comment on this, or @kayleeellen herself?

@Brian-qn2mx Год назад

It’s not rare anymore and you can grow them in house conditions I grow mine on a windowsill in my bedroom and it’s not making runners yet and I’m currently growing a cutting in my grow tent to compare it with the one in my room

I’d really love to see an updated video of this comparison and a video about how they have spread more.

@Fire-Queen 2 года назад

Update: 2022 August... The market is about to be flooded with Obliqua. As the pandemiv boom seems to die down, people are now letting go of a temporary hobby, as they're not indoors constantly any longer, and thus have no more infinite time to fuss over their plants. Professional players on the market have been growing obliqua Peru for the last 3 years from these runners, and now have hundreds, if not thousands of this plant in stock! So, from thousands, it'll now be around 200 for a small, rooted plant or a few nodes.

As I said on your previous post, I was able to get a hold of something labeled M. Leichtlinii which (due to some google search) I believed is a hybrid of obliqua - I found it listed somewhere as a M. Obliqua "Leichtlinii" but now I believe it's just a round form of Adansonii or something very similar - it's definitely not regular or narrow form though.

Hello Kaylee Ellen, my name is Tales Valério and I live in Brazil, more precisely in Northeast Brazil. I study Architecture and Urbanism and have deepened my research in Landscaping. Our biggest reference in Brazilian and world landscaping regarding landscape projects and species research is undoubtedly Roberto Burle Marx. I would like to congratulate you on your beautiful and thorough work on the differences between Monstera Obliqua and Monstera Adansonii. Particularly I have some copies of M. Adansonii here at home. Very beautiful. I believe I saw M. Obliqua somewhere here in Brazil. I don't remember where. But, finally, I may be wrong, but it is so common and so easy to find rare species here in Brazil due to the richness of our diverse flora, that for many people it is natural to own or live among so many rare and fantastic species. God loves gardens. He took care of the details of each of his creations. I am following your posts from this video. Thanks for the information and seriousness. Hugs from the Brazilian people.

This video has been so informative and interesting. Thank you so much for all of the research that took you and for sharing it with the world. Today my boyfriend bought an Obliqua for me, of course it is an Adasonii, and of course I only know that because of your video. 💚

Awesome and informative video! Nice work covering the bases.

@laurenward8699 5 лет назад

Fantastic video! Could you please tell us why the obliq is so rare and so hard to come by? The specimen that you're holding looks like it could propagate 5-10 plants. So why are they so rare?

@thomaspaine5601 5 лет назад

I was thinking pretty much the same thing throughout the entire video. 1) If it is so rare and valuable and needs high humidity etc, a large glass tank and humidifier are as cheap as chips in comparison and yet there it just sits crinkling up on her shelf! 2) Why isn't propagation a high priority? Propagating it is not even mentioned in the video! 3) Then there are those runners crying out and trying to propagate and using up the poor plant's energy and yet again no attempt is being made to provide those runners with the resources they need and take some burden off the mother plant. I do not get it. Maybe all things considered the other species of Monstera are just better and more practical plants.

BEST PLANT VIDEO EVER!! #notobliqua P.S. Your stock is rising ...💚👍🏿

Thank you so much for this video! So hard to find good info on them!

4 years later I have an Obliqua in my collection. Still rare, still expensive, but not as bad as the year you published this video. I enjoyed watching, though, very informative and a few facts I did not know.

Absolute incredible video... thank you so very much for educating me and everyone else on this matter... you're appreciated!!! 💗

Finally, you solved my riddle. I got a cutting of a monstera some months ago and I wasn't sure what it was. I searched the Internet and stumbled over the muggle plants article as well. Now I know that I got an adansonii "Narrow Form". Unfortunately my cutting is quite hard to care for. For half a year it stayes as one folded and one crispy leave. What can I do to help? Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

@naz300 5 лет назад

These plants get mealy bugs easily. You have to check for mealy bugs between the crevices or it can also be root rot because the plant didn't get to heal before you placed it into the soil and started rooting.

Monstera Obliqua is sold at around $8 for a two-leaf rooted cutting in China now. For $20, you can get a fairly large one with 20-ish leaves.

So much can change in 5 years! I just got one & it’s amazing! I have all the Adonsonii & this is very different from the rest. I love the ruffles ❤

@jesstars100 Год назад

Thank you so much for all the information you are sharing.. I have 3 monstera Adansonii and to be honest they all look different.. how can I know which type they are. I have one that has big leaves with lots of holes.. and the 2 others are smaller . How can I tell which one they are.. here in Mexico we call them skeleton plants.. 😂😂

@djowen23 Год назад

I love your videos you always come with a lot of great information which I enjoy & I love your style plus your accent is awesome too... but I'm curious to know how come you didn't mention the monstera esqueleto in the video cuz they have to be in the adansonii family right? Also I thought I bought a baby adansonii but it fits the description of what you described the obliqua to be...it is very small plus has a runner ... so if I sent you a picture of my plant could you tell me if it is or not? 🙏🙏🙏 & never stop making these awesome videos of yours!

@Illo0103 3 года назад

Does anybody know what the situation is now? Is it still as rare as it was back in 2019?

@aidensiessmayer5615 Год назад

It's funny to see this now when people are selling actual obliqua cuttings for like $30 on etsy lol that's plants for you, always fluctuating in availability

@livi0301 5 лет назад

I just bought one at Plant Con in houston texas. I was super skeptical because I had seen this video a while ago, but it checks every box, even the frills. If I tell you how much I paid you really wouldn't believe me.

@Sarah-iz2nt 3 года назад

I came here to determine if a Swiss Cheese plant was same as Adonsonii😂... and then the Epi shows up! Thank you, Kaylee Ellen for the videos! I love the details and knowledge you share with us🖤

@nana4life1000 5 лет назад

I've seen an obliqua exactly ONCE in my botany professors' house(i watch his dogs) !!!

@sophie716 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for all this knowledge! I recently bought my first Monstera last week, which was labeled as both Monkey Leaf plant and Monstera Obliqua. I was confused after researching until now (yay youtube suggestions).

@GoblinPrincessKyo 4 года назад

Hallo! I'm still reasonably new in the plant world and i found this video while researching care for the adansonii. I had never heard of this beautiful rare plant! Wonderful video and defo made a new subscriber out of me!

@LynnAgain83 4 года назад

Honestly Monsteras are really not that rare just back in style so to speak from all the "hype" online. My grandparents had a huge Monstera along with several parlor palms,creeping figs, lipstick plants,pocket book plant,Asparagus plumosa fern,etc I took over some of their collection 15-16 yrs ago and I've only ever had trouble with the ferns because they love high humidity. Happy gardening! 💚💚💚 🌿😊👍

@GoblinPrincessKyo 4 года назад

@@LynnAgain83 Hiya! Yeah I know a bit more now and I know the deliciosa and the adansonii are common but the oblique is defo still very rare along with some of the other varieties of monstera. I thought i didn't like ferns until my boyfriend bought me one and now i'm completely in love hahaha defo sits right next to the humidifier though :D.

@emilymonfet3144 3 года назад

If they send out runners being grown in a home environment why isn't it then propogated a sold regularly to lower the price?

@kathybrintlinger9993 5 лет назад

Outstanding video! Thanks so much for all your research! You’ve definitely clarified any questions I’ve had!🌱🌸😬

@GlamAm85 Год назад

After watching this video it’s safely to say I DEFINITELY have a obliqua 😅. I was worried at first but the runners gave me confirmation. The only reason why mine did grow was because I put it in my bathroom. She is a diva for humidity and is very unforgiving when my humidity is not to her liking.

@idiosyncraticgirl1 5 лет назад

You should do a video about instability of the philodendron pink princess variegation. Ultimately they seem to revert to burgundy. Is the pink caused by a mutation or by the introduction of a virus.

@KayleeEllenOfficial 5 лет назад

Yep I'm actually working on that now as part of a more general video but I might actually make it more specific! Thank you 😁

@xlovexaxlotx1626 4 года назад

Thank you, I have just correctly labeled my wee monstera now! It's weird that people buying plants can sometimes label them better than the plant shop selling them ...The other week I went to my local garden shop and there was a crate of parlor palms labeled as ponytail palms....

@MiscellaneousTopics 5 лет назад

Thank you for making this video! I was always slightly confused when I ordered two monsters adosoniis from different nurseries and they looked different (one was regular and the other round).
