In its natural habitat, it scrambles up tree trunks with leaves pressed flat against the bark as it climbs toward the forest canopy. Collectors seek it out for its dramatic juvenile growth form and silver variegation.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Flower_a2da558c-5726-458a-a06c-1a5f7fedc366_480x480.png?v=1600397290\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  The leaves are small and heart-shaped, patterned with silver and dark green variegation that lie flat against any surface it climbs. This shingling growth habit is the plant's signature trait, giving the leaves an almost scale-like appearance as they overlap tightly. As it matures on a moss pole, the leaves gradually enlarge and develop the fenestrations classic to the Monstera genus, transforming from a compact climber into a spectacular showpiece.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Growing_2961efa3-9828-496c-8a2c-fa57f0dd8914_480x480.png?v=1600399365\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Monstera Dubia is grown primarily for its extraordinary foliage rather than its flowers, and bloom data for cultivated specimens is limited.
