{"product_id":"monstera-peru-variegated","title":"Monstera Peru Variegated (Monstera karstenianum variegata) - Exact Plant A","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Monstera Peru Variegated is a rare and stunning aroid known for its thick, textured leaves marbled with creamy white and minty-green variegation. Unlike other Monstera varieties, Peru does not naturally fenestrate; instead, its leaves are glossy, ridged, and leathery—making the variegation stand out beautifully. Native to the tropical forests of South America, this climbing plant is both hardy and visually striking, making it a prized addition for collectors and houseplant enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoors, Monstera Peru Variegated typically reaches 3–6 feet (90–180 cm) when provided with support. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth: \u003c\/strong\u003eIts leaves can grow 4–6 inches long, with bold marbling that becomes more dramatic in brighter light.
