Monstera subpinnata
Feather Monstera
Morphology
About
Monstera subpinnata is one of the most visually distinctive members of its genus — a strongly heterobaric climber from the humid wet-tropical forests of south-eastern Colombia through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia that produces mature leaves of an entirely different character from the typical Monstera silhouette. Juvenile growth produces smaller, entire leaves as the stem ascends shaded supports; in brighter lower-canopy positions the foliage transitions to deeply pinnatifid blades divided into numerous narrow lateral lobes, creating a feather-like or palm-frond silhouette unlike any other Monstera in cultivation. The stem climbs with aerial roots and bears leaves at evenly spaced nodes with considerable elegance. For collectors seeking architectural diversity in a Monstera collection, subpinnata offers something genuinely unlike anything else in the genus.

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.
