Shipping Note:
Due to the delicate nature of Monstera leaves, some minor imperfections may occur during shipping. During winter, the lower humidity levels plants experience in transit may cause blackening on the leaves. This is not rot, but purely cosmetic damage. Slowly reintroducing the plant to higher humidity will encourage it to push out fresh growth. With proper care, the plant will continue to grow and produce its signature fenestrated foliage.
