It is a true queen of transformations, featuring two completely different life phases. In its youth (as a young plant), it doesn’t grow sideways but climbs straight up a flat surface, with its heart-shaped leaves lying completely flat and pressed tightly against the support—literally resembling roof tiles or shingles. These young leaves are adorned with a charming, distinctly silvery and dark green mosaic pattern. Only when the monstera has climbed high enough and reached maturity will it start producing its famous, large, deeply split leaves, losing the silver pattern. Currently, it is a grown, strong 35 cm plant in a 14 cm pot, which comes \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"839\"\u003ewith its climbing board\u003c\/b\u003e.

If it reaches the end of its current wooden board and has nowhere to climb further, it will start producing long, bare vines with very small leaves, searching for new support. When the plant outgrows the board, simply attach an extension (a larger board or moss pole), or cut the tip and root it anew.
