These magnificent Monsteras with Small Leaves are perfect tropical plants to add greenery in compact spaces!
Monsteras are popular for their large leaves with distinctive fenestrations. However, there are also some varieties with smaller leaves that are perfect for adding tropical vibes to any home setting, regardless of the size.
Monsteras with Small Leaves
1. Monstera Siltepecana
Silver monstera is a popular houseplant that features small, lance-shaped, silvery-green leaves in the early stages of growth. However, when the plant matures, its foliage loses the silvery hue and develops fenestrations, too.
2. Monstera karstenianum
Monstera Peru is admired by houseplant enthusiasts for its 2-3 inches long glossy, dark green leaves with irregular ridges. They are small in comparison to other Monstera varieties on this list.
3. Monstera Dubia
Native to Central and South America, this rare monstera variety is grown for its striking green and silver-hued leaves. For the best foliar display, provide this plant with partial sun and a moist, well-drained potting mix.
4. Monstera Spruceana
This monstera species produces green, leathery-textured leaves that become fenestrated as the plant matures. It’s named after the famous English botanist Richard Spruce.
5. Monstera Adansonii
Monstera Adansonii boasts heart-shaped perforated leaves that resemble Swiss cheese, hence the common name. Its striking leaves make this plant an excellent addition to indoor gardens and terrariums.
6. Monstera Obliqua
Monstera obliqua is prized for its extremely perforated leaves that look like they’ve been nibbled by pests. In addition to the magnificent foliage, this plant also offers tiny flowers on spadixes.
7. Variegated Monstera Lechleriana
Named after the German botanist Willibald Lechler, this climbing vine boasts slightly elongated leaves. They are 3-4 inches long with green and white variegation.
8. Monstera standleyana ‘Albo’
The glossy, oval-shaped foliage with green and white/cream variegation makes the ‘Albo’ stand out among other monstera varieties. Place this monstera plant on a stand near a north-facing or east-facing window for best growth.
