Meet Monstera dubia—the shingle plant climber. Juvenile leaves press flat against a board or support, creating a tiled green-and-silver pattern that looks completely different from most Monsteras. Unusual, elegant and architectural, she is perfect for collectors who love climbing plants.

  • The Formal Name: Monstera dubia
  • The Nickname: Shingle Plant
  • Roots: A tropical American Monstera species grown for its shingling juvenile growth.
  • Natural Vibe: Humid rainforest trunks where young vines climb flat against bark in filtered light.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She prefers bright indirect light, with gentle morning brightness rather than harsh direct sun.
  • Best Room: A warm living room, bedroom or plant cabinet where humidity and light stay steady.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced or aroid-focused fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: Higher humidity helps the leaves expand cleanly and keeps the velvet or strap foliage looking its best.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her cosy at 18–27°C and away from cold windows and draughts.
  • Thirst: Water when the upper mix starts to dry, keeping the root zone lightly moist but never stagnant.
  • Safety First: Toxic – Monstera contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals, so keep away from pets and small hands.
  • The Bedding: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, perlite and a little moisture-holding organic matter.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from node cuttings with a section of stem and aerial root where possible.
  • Space Needs: Grow against a plank, board or pole so the leaves can lie flat and climb.
  • Speed: A steady collector plant that rewards stable warmth and humidity with stronger new leaves.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs, especially around new growth.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when the roots have clearly filled the pot, keeping the crown above the mix.
  • Haircut: Remove tired leaves at the base and avoid cutting healthy aerial roots unless damaged.
  • Fresh Air: A refined foliage plant that turns a bright indoor corner into a miniature tropical display.
  • Plant Lore: The shingling habit is the magic here: give her a board or pole and she will show her best behaviour.
