# Fenestrations - For all you monstera lovers out there.. the holes in…

_Pubblicato da Evil Plant Dad il 2023-08-30_

Fenestrations - For all you monstera lovers out there.. the holes in the leaves are called fenestrations; deriving from the French word “fenêtre” which means “window”.

The fenestrations are little windows you can see through which is often why the plant is referred to as monkey mask, as they can be peered through the same as a mask.

Fun Fact: If someone said they defenestrated something.. it means they threw it out a window. 🤣
