Monstera obliqua 'Expilata' – 2–3” Starter

Ultra-Rare | Textured Leaves | Collector Aroid

This isn’t the Swiss cheese plant you see on every windowsill — this is Monstera obliqua 'Expilata', a true collector’s gem. Unlike the more well-known obliqua peru types with extreme fenestrations, 'Expilata' is known for its delicate, elongated leaves with deep texture and subtle venation that shimmer slightly in the light.

It’s still a vining aroid at heart, but the leaf structure is denser, more defined, and more refined. Think: Monstera meets fine art.

This listing is for a 2–3” rooted starter — rare, healthy, and ready to climb with proper care.

Care Tips:

  • Bright, indirect light (avoid direct sun)

  • Keep soil evenly moist but not wet

  • Thrives in high humidity (60%+ preferred)

  • Prefers a chunky aroid mix and regular light feeding

  • Give it something to climb — it wants to grow up

Plant nerd bonus: The obliqua genus is wildly misunderstood — 'Expilata' is a stable, leafier variety that doesn’t fall apart in low humidity like other obliquas. Still rare. Still a flex.

Shipped with care in protective packaging. Fully rooted and grown with nerd-level attention to detail.
