Blue Steel Monstera in your choice of a 4” or 6” planter.
The rare tropical plant Monstera sp. ‘Blue Steel’ is known for its thick, matte blue-gray leaves and slow, compact growth habit. Unlike traditional green Monsteras, this elusive cultivar features a unique steel-toned foliage that deepens in color with age and light exposure, creating a sculptural look that stands out in any rare plant collection. Its semi-gloss finish and prominent venation give it a distinctly modern texture, making it a favorite among collectors looking for something that cannot be found in nurseries.
Native to tropical Central America, the Blue Steel is believed to be a naturally occurring mutation or hybrid within the Monstera genus, although its exact lineage remains a subject of discussion among aroid specialists. Every leaf holds tension and structure, often growing with a slight curve that gives it a dimensional, architectural appeal.
Collectors prize this plant not only for its aesthetics, but also for its resilience. It thrives in bright, indirect light, tolerates medium light conditions, and prefers to dry out slightly between waterings.
