Monstera dubia
Monstera dubia is a climbing plant which needs to mature before it will flower. It has silver variegated leaves. When young, it will produce entire leaves, then as it matures they become divided and eventually holes.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Temperatures between 65-80ºF (18-27ºC) are ideal. Lower than 65ºF (18Cº) will slow down this plants growth and below 50ºF (10ºC) will stop growth. A fairly bright room or bright with plenty of shade is best. Direct sunlight will damage the leaves and not enough light can slow growth down. A peat based potting soil mix with perlite or sand is ideal. Soil that drains well is needed.
Propagation
From Late Spring TO Mid Summer
Propagate from a mature stem tip cuttings during summer below an aerial root at the node. Place the stem cutting about 1 or 2 inches deep in moist potting soil and water moderately. It should begin rooting within the first couple of weeks or so.
