Monstera obliqua is a species of plant in the genus Monstera native to Central and South America.[1] An epiphytic climber like several other Monstera species, obliqua is particularly known for its foliage, which is often highly fenestrated, to the point where there is more empty space than leaf.[2] Quite rare in cultivation, this species is often confused for other Monstera like Monstera adansonii.[3]
