Monstera Deliciosa cf Sierrana Black Widow
RARE Monstera Deliciosa cf Sierrana Black Widow Plant, Acquired from a serious aroid collector in Japan in 2023. This Monstera’s leaves mature to a very deep green, almost black and appear much more rigid. The leaf varies in that it appears as a caricature of a M. Deliciosa with wider leaflet spacing and a wider leaflet at the tip like a proboscis monkey or long-nosed monkey. Monstera Black Widow is an absolutely enormous, fast growing, climbing Monstera with beautiful split leaves. This Monstera is the largest variety we have collected from Japan with 10-16 rows of leaflets on each side, highly recommended for indoor or outdoor growing assuming you have the space. When allowed to climb, the maturing foliage can grow 4 to 5.5 feet in length with the iconic split leaf appearance, similar to that of a Monstera Sierrana however this variety matures to sport much darker foliage. We will also be offering a select albo sport of this variety with rigid leaves, brighter whites and deeper greens, currently in cultivation.
Let the tropical appeal of Monstera plants transform your indoor or outdoor space into a jungle. These easy-to-grow plants flourish in moist soils rich in organic matter, and their ability to climb makes them perfect for mossy posts or burlap wrapped poles. Monstera grow well in pots, hanging baskets or outdoors as a ground cover or a Tropical looking tree wrap. With their ability to adapt to lower light conditions and temperatures between 65°- 90°F, Monsteras are more flexible than most house plants. In warmer climates introduce Monstera to your outdoor space and watch as they transform into stunning climbers with huge tropical fenestrated (split) leaves often reaching two feet in diameter.
Unleash their full potential by letting them grow in the ground or up an arbor, they'll surprise you with their size and structure changes from their potted juvenile state.

Our plants are grown in conditions akin to a natural, humid rainforest, using minimal pesticides. Occasional leaf drop, spotting, or browning, especially in varieties with significant white, are normal. In our nursery, plants thrive under 40-80% shade cloth. If grown outdoors, direct exposure to full sun may cause leaf burn. We suggest gradually introducing the plants to sunny areas over a week or so to reduce stress for optimal results. Despite our high standards in plant propagation, we can't assure future variegation patterns, coloration, survival or growth rate. Individual plants may vary, even though our mother plants have thrived for over 20 years. We guarantee all variegation is natural without any Chemically Induced Variegation (NO C.I.V.)
