Monstera boliviana

A Monstera described by Rusby from Bolivia, known from the Amazonian lowlands and Andean foothills of Bolivia and southern Peru. Little is published on it beyond the original description, so these conditions come mainly from the measured climate and the genus. Grow it as a warm lowland climber that tolerates a mild dry season.
