Monstera siltepecana El Salvador

What is Included:

Plant Type: Monstera siltepecana ‘El Salvador’
Form: Fresh vine cutting (you’ll receive a cutting similar to the one shown in the photo)

Rarity:

Monstera siltepecana ‘El Salvador’ is a rare regional form of the species, prized for its larger leaves, stronger silver patterning, and thicker growth habit compared to the standard siltepecana. It's not commonly available in the hobby market and is highly desirable among serious aroid and Monstera collectors.

Plant Care Instructions:

• Ease of Care: Easy to moderate; responds well to basic Monstera care

• Light Needs: Bright, indirect light brings out the bold silver pattern—too much direct sun can cause leaf fade

• Humidity Needs: Moderate to high humidity preferred, but it adapts well to average indoor conditions

• Packaging: Each cutting is wrapped in moist Sphagnum Moss and sealed to stay fresh and hydrated during shipping

• How to Plant: Place in moss, water, or a well-draining potting mix. Keep warm and humid—roots typically appear in 1–2 weeks

How It’s Propagated:

Cuttings are taken from a healthy mother vine and include at least one node, often with aerial roots. Rooting is reliable in high-humidity setups like moss boxes, water jars, or aroid mixes.

About the Plant:

Monstera siltepecana ‘El Salvador’ is a fast-growing climbing aroid that produces elongated, silver-flecked juvenile leaves that hug vertical surfaces. As the plant matures and climbs, it can develop larger, fenestrated foliage under optimal conditions. This form is noticeably more robust and richly patterned than the typical siltepecana.

• Leaf Style: Lance-shaped leaves with bold silver veining and deep green edges

• Growth Habit: Fast-growing climber—ideal for moss poles or vertical boards

• Where It Grows Best: Bright indoor setups, greenhouses, or grow tents with vertical support

• Who It’s For: Great for aroid collectors, Monstera fans, and anyone who loves unique foliage variations

Bold, fast-growing, and visually dramatic—‘El Salvador’ is a top-tier form of a beloved species.
