Monstera Siltepecana

Botanical Name: Monstera siltepecana

Common Name(s): Silver Monstera, Silver Leaf Philodendron

Monstera siltepecana is a unique and elegant Monstera variety known for its silvery-blue leaves with dark green veining, creating a striking contrast. Native to the rainforests of Central America, this plant is a vining species that climbs as it matures, eventually developing fenestrations (splits) in its leaves under the right conditions. In its juvenile phase, the leaves remain small and heart-shaped, making it a beautiful trailing plant or an attractive climber when given a moss pole.

Monstera siltepecana thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels, although it may grow more slowly. It prefers well-draining soil that retains some moisture, so allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings helps keep it healthy. This Monstera also enjoys higher humidity, so regular misting or placement near a humidifier is beneficial.

Air Purifying Qualities: Like other Monsteras, Monstera siltepecana has air-purifying benefits, helping to filter indoor toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. Its foliage aids in absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, contributing to fresher indoor air.

Note: Monstera siltepecana is mildly toxic if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and children to ensure safety.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Climbing and Growth Patterns: Provide a moss pole or other support to encourage upward growth. In its juvenile stage, the leaves are small and without fenestrations, but as it climbs, the plant will develop larger, more mature leaves with splits.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed every 4-6 weeks with a half-strength, balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer. Avoid fertilizing in winter, as the plant’s growth slows naturally.
  3. Pruning for Shape: Regularly trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth and maintain a compact shape. Remove yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy.
  4. Pest Management: Spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects can sometimes appear. Wipe the leaves down with a damp cloth regularly, and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil at the first sign of pests. High humidity helps deter spider mites, which prefer dry conditions.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee. Refunds will be processed to the card or account used for your purchase and will typically be available in your bank in 3-5 business days from the date it was issued.

Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping. If weather conditions are extreme (e.g., storm or severe winter), we will inform you of an updated delivery date that we believe is more appropriate.

How can I change my order details?

To update your order details, please contact us within 24 hours of placing your order. We care about all our customers and will like to ship the correct item to the right location. We are not held responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses. In addition, we cannot cancel orders that has already been shipped.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Items apart of the same order typically ship together. In rare circumstances, the items may ship from both our Southern California and Florida greenhouses and could arrive in separate packages at different times. For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
