About

Monstera croatii is a naturally occurring climbing hemiepiphyte native to the wet tropical forests of Costa Rica, where it is typically found on tree trunks and large woody vegetation in humid, shaded understories. It exhibits an elongated growth habit with green, terete petioles. Its distinct foliage features narrow-oblong to lanceolate leaves with a strong drip tip, moderately thick blades with entire margins, and a limited number of large, elongated fenestrations aligned along the midrib. Aerial roots emerge from the nodes, aiding its climbing habit.

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.

No eBay auction history available yet for this plant. Data is collected automatically as sales appear on eBay UK.
