Where it grows wild

Tropical wet forest and premontane wet forest in western Amazonia. Like other Monstera it germinates on the ground and climbs trees as a root-climbing hemiepiphyte.

Published range 130–1550 m; GBIF records span 100–1550 m with a median of 250 m, so most plants grow in hot lowland forest.
