Monstera vs Monstera 🌿 Are you mixing these two up?
The Monstera deliciosa is the big one. It’s a natural climber that can reach up to 8m in the right conditions, and its splits run all the way to the leaf edge.
The Monstera adansonii is smaller and loves to trail. Its oval holes stay inside the leaf, giving it that bushy, lacy look. Pop it on a shelf and let it spill down, or train it up a moss pole.
Can’t tell them apart? Your secret’s safe with us 🤫
Which one’s your favourite: deliciosa or adansonii? Tell us below 👇
plot twist 🙈 the first one is actually a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, not a monstera at all. We said your secret’s safe with us… turns out ours isn’t. Thanks for keeping us honest 🌿

It's a Rhaphidophora tetrapserma, not a Monstera :) the Rhaphidophora has thicker leaves, thicker stems, different charachteristics and like you said the fenestrations are different :)

Hi babes the first plant isn’t actually a monstera. That is a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma. And the second one is Monstera adansonii.
