Monstera Dubia

Monstera Dubia, also known as the “shingle plant,” is a rare climbing aroid with a unique growth habit. Young leaves lie flat against surfaces, creating a shingle-like appearance. As the plant matures, it develops fenestrations in its leaves, similar to other Monstera species. It requires a support like a moss pole or plank to climb and mature.

A Rare Climber That Hugs Its Way to Your Heart

Meet Monstera dubia, one of the most unusual and sought-after members of the Monstera family. Unlike its fenestrated cousins, young dubia grow as “shinglers” — pressing their delicate, heart-shaped leaves flat against a surface as they climb. Each leaf is adorned with intricate silver and green mosaic patterns, giving it a uniquely elegant, textured look.

In its juvenile form, it remains a stunning, compact shingler, perfect for mounting on a moss pole, wooden board, or plank. With time and the right conditions, it matures into a dramatically different plant — producing large, fenestrated leaves reminiscent of a Monstera deliciosa, but with its own distinct charm.

Care Tips
