Just wondering, is this just monstera adansonii, or could it possibly a subspecies of some sort?

yes, monstera adansonii, put that baby on a moss pole and watch her leaves size up dramatically 😌

Ya I've been wanting to but not sure if a moss pole would work in a four inch pot, I've never done one before so idk how big they are.

6in will be good!

I was wondering tho, is it possible that its monstera adansonii laniata? I've noticed the leaves don't look exactly like some other adansoniis I've seen, and they look similar to the laniata picture on planta.

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-01-31

This is adansonii. Laniata have slimmer longer leaves. Keep in mind someone posted those pictures, not necessarily an expert. I also have several plants pics posted in incorrect categories because the plant doesn't exist on here

Ok thank you. That was what I was wondering, otherwise I would have gone ahead and changed it to that. Someone should pry be checking all of my plants to make sure they aren't under false identities😂

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-31

Lol sameeee I would say about 30% of my plants are living under false pretenses right now 😅 I should probably check if their species were added in yet
