A few common forms can still be easily identified but it seems few people can be sure of the correct names on many of these Monstera species due to the range of differences in seedlings and from juvenile to mature foliage. Monstera Peru is a very rare fast-growing plant with thick and unusually stiff leaves that is often mistaken for Monstera Pinnatipartita when young because the leaves look alike. Pinnatipartita undergoing ontogeny change from juvenile to adult form with an intermediate-aged leaf starting to develop fenestrations holes in the leaf surface.

Make sure to keep the soil dry between the intervals. So are the names are Monstera species. Depending on the size of the pot Ill let the top inch or two completely dry out before I water again. The specific epithet deliciosa means delicious referring to the edible fruit while monstera means monstrous in reference to the size that this plant can grow to over 9 m 30 ft in many cases.
