monstera peru care + propagation guide! - rare/uncommon monstera! 

I just bought a monstera peru a few days ago. I was looking for care videos. Great timing!

I am so excited I found this channel! I just got some Peru cuttings and searched for Peru care and this video was the first that drew my attention and gave me some truly helpful tips. Thank you TONS!

I've been after a Peru and mentioned this to my friend. He had a very sickly cutting that was given to him by another friend and he gave it to me. It had one yellow leaf when I took it and I was damned glad to have it, believe me. I brought it home and it promptly dropped its leaf, but it has really good roots and a little blemish on the stem that's come to be known as The Nubule. I changed out the soil to something a little more loose and airy, plopped it in my Please Don't Die pot and set it in the hospital ward. Nubsy is getting bigger every day. It's about the size of a worrisome mole as of today and I couldn't be happier. I can't wait for the fella to get a leaf. I heard these were part of the Costa release this year, but I haven't seen any in stores. I'm sure that will happen right around the time The Nubule becomes a real leaf.

I just got my first Monstera Peru 3 weeks ago and is so beautiful. It has gorgeous green leaves and mine is already giving me some new leaves ❤

I just bought this beautiful plant today and I can’t wait to get her. Thanks for mentioning how much you paid, gives me a frame of reference. Appreciate the care tips and I think your channel will grow nicely, you’re very relatable.

You are doing awesome! Already to almost 800 subs, and you had around 200 you said when this vid came out...! You go girl 🙂

I love monsteras everything. Recently purchased a Laniata and a wide form Adansonii and I have a siltepecana and Peru on the way. I love and appreciate your informative content♥️🪴

Such a lovely plant! This is on my wishlist

I got my monstera peru for 12,60 euros and I found a cebu blue pothos for 9 euros. Prices have come down very much! I live in Greece btw. Very helpful video! Cheers!

LOVE this plant. I need to get one. Great video :)

Super informative… thanks for the lessons.

This plant has been on my wishlist for so long.

God bless, I didn't know what I was doing with my Peru haha great timing. Since you love Monstera, maybe you could do a collection video? Show off the ones you have and maybe talk about the ones you still want to add to your collection

WOW the price last week I bought a full basket with at least 6 plants in it with like $20 !! but its a beautiful plant I love it

I just love the texture and I’m planning to do the same thing I’m so excited .🥰🪴 I love propagating I normally do water propagation but this year I used a mini green house method using pumice for krimson princess hoya stems and it worked well 🤗

Got mine at my local Walmart for 18 at the time I had no idea how hard they were to find for people

Very nice! The actual name is Philodendron opacum 'Green Goddess' and they are not a Monstera. Per Key Gardens, the world's authority on tropical plant names, Monstera karstenianum is a nomen nudum or invalid name in any case. There are three different Monstera called "Peru" and that is just a provenance name, not a cultivar name.

wonderful video!

I bought monstera peru for RM18 in Malaysia, and it already rooted and have trailing leaves... just a sad thing about some local nursery over here love clay soil mix with black soil,that cause my monstera a bit pale on younger leaves and skinny root... Well i repot it with better mix soil i hope it grows better than before...

Do you think monstera Peru would like growing up a moss pole to encourage larger more mature leaves?

Wow. I got my full plant for 15 bucks at Lowes. I always forget that a lot of these costa farms plants wouldn’t be out there much otherwise.

This is a very beautiful plant I was able to buy at Home Depot very full and trailing for 16.99 5/16/2022

What soil do you use?

I guess i got a deal at Lowes, for $5.00 4 large leaves and double potted!

Hey Jessie. After watching your vid I’m starting to think my cutting is a lost cause. I’ve tried water, then perlite and haven’t noticed any root growth. My cutting was shipped wrapped in wet paper towel and I’m starting to think that may have caused rot. Guess I could try sphagnum moss. What’s the longest it’s taken your peru props to see progress? Thx

Local grocery store had these for 1,3$ with it's synonymous name Philodendron pinnatum 'Marble Planet'.

good afternoon, what beautiful monsters are just a sight for sore eyes. how much beauty you will admire

Did you notice about ur monstera Peru that loses its bumpy texture on leaves, specialy close to the stems? I cannot figure it out, does it need more water?

I bought one of those for 12€, it was labelled as "Epipremnum". I actually thought I overpayed for it but apparently that's not the case?!

My local mom & pop nursery (Nelly's in Brooklyn) sells these for $10 for the size yours currently is.

Fabulous sweety 🍃

I found my Peru in the basement of my building being thrown away!

Wow. I just scored a 6in pot for $10 at the farmers market

Could I use peat moss instead of sphagnum?

I'm from Peru and I don't have this plant lol

I paid 20.00 dollars for one at Walmart and I have 2

So easy then why the brown tips with the bacteria yellow halo? Watch for root rot.

I’m not sure where you are located but you paid a lot of money for this plant 🥴 i can recommend checking out The Perfect Choice Nursery on instagram and see their rare plants- they ship and prices are very reasonable:-) i hope this helps:-)
