Description
Monsetra gigas is considered the largest species of monstera ever. It can grow to 100 feet (30.48) meters in height and produces leaves that can get to 9 feet (2.74 meters).[3][4] This species was so tall that researchers nearly missed it due to its lofty height, and its foliage resembles the plant, Rhodospatha wendlandii.[3]
