Monstera Laniata is a subspecies of the Monstera Adansonii, the Swiss Cheese. Similar in growth habits, it does have some sparkling differences. Laniata is a super shiny guy with an almost mirror reflective surface. The elongated heart shaped leaves end in tips slightly curving offcenter. Young leaves are solid but maturity will bring the characteristic Monstera holes. Laniata’s holes are more evenly paired and run along the center vein, as opposed to the more random holes of the more unruly Swiss Cheese. Hanging baskets will grow long vines as will those supported on poles, which results in dramatically larger leaves.
