Monstera lechleriana
Lechler's Monstera
Morphology
About
Monstera lechleriana is a robust hemiepiphytic climber from the humid, frost-free tropical forests spanning Costa Rica through to tropical South America, ascending tree trunks from shaded understory positions into the lower canopy on thick climbing stems with strong nodes and stout aerial roots. The juvenile leaves are smaller, entire and unfenestrated; with maturity and height the blades elongate and develop the species' characteristic orderly inner fenestrations — oval perforations arranged with pleasing regularity along the midrib, distinct in their even spacing from the more scattered holes of related species. This regular fenestration pattern gives mature leaves a particularly clean, architectural quality. Less commonly encountered than some Monsteras in the hobby, it rewards growers able to provide good light, consistent moisture, and a sturdy support to climb.

Market Analysis & Price Guide
Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
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.
