Prepare to be captivated by the Monstera obliqua 'Peru', a rare and ethereal beauty that stands among the most coveted plants in the houseplant world. At Happy Houseplants, we’re incredibly proud to offer this extraordinary collector’s specimen—meticulously sourced and hand-selected for its delicate foliage and botanical perfection.

Unlike any other, the Monstera obliqua 'Peru' boasts ultra-fine, lace-like leaves adorned with dramatic fenestrations—so large and intricate, each leaf appears to be more hole than leaf. It’s a marvel of nature, a living artwork that feels almost too magical to be real. This is not your average houseplant—this is one for the true plant connoisseurs.

A quick note on names—there’s often confusion in the plant world around common names, and Monstera is no exception. Terms like “Monkey Mask”, “Swiss Cheese Plant”, or even “Monstera obliqua” are frequently used in the trade to describe a wide range of plants, most often referring to Monstera adansonii, which is beautiful in its own right, but far more common. In reality, the Monstera genus is incredibly diverse, with over 40 recognised species and many naturally occurring variants and subspecies found throughout Central and South America. 

This is not the more commonly sold Monstera adansonii or Monstera Obliqua 'Monkey Mask'. Monstera obliqua 'Peru' is an extremely rare variant with tissue-thin leaves and an otherworldly appearance. Its foliage is far more delicate and fenestrated than adansonii, and it grows much slower, making it a true collector's dream, you’ll see the difference the moment it arrives. 

Unless you're a botanist, have access to DNA testing, or are able to observe the plant in flower or growing in its native habitat, telling the difference between Monstera species can be incredibly difficult. Many forms look strikingly similar when young, and even on the same plant, leaf shape can vary over time depending on age and growing conditions. At Happy Houseplants, we use common trade names that are widely recognised in the UK plant community to help make identification easier.

Native to the humid, shaded rainforests of Peru, this elusive beauty thrives in the gentle embrace of filtered light and moisture-rich air. In the wild, it grows as a compact vine in the forest understory, clinging gracefully to trees. Its slow-growing, compact nature makes it especially suited to life in a controlled indoor environment—whether in a glass terrarium, a display case, or nestled into your prized collection.

Caring for this rare gem requires a little extra love, but the rewards are more than worth it:

Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light is perfect. Avoid harsh sun, which can scorch the delicate foliage. Filtered light near an east- or north-facing window works wonders.

Temperature and Humidity: Keep it cosy—between 18°C and 26°C is ideal. This plant loves high humidity, so think terrariums, humidity trays, or a grow cabinet. Mist regularly or keep it somewhere naturally humid like a kitchen or bathroom.

Watering: Let the top inch or two of soil dry out before watering again. Overwatering is one of the quickest ways to upset this sensitive soul—keep things lightly moist but never soggy.

Soil and Potting: This Monstera craves a light, airy mix. We recommend a combination of coco coir, orchid bark, perlite, worm castings, and a dash of magic. Okay, maybe not magic—but it feels like it.

Fertilising: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a gentle, diluted fertiliser every few weeks. For best results, use our exclusive Organic Tropical Plant Food—it’s packed with everything your plant needs, made from seaweed and nothing synthetic.

Size: W12cm x H30cm (Beautiful, healthy plants with a stunning start to their growth journey!)

Our top Tip: To give your Monstera obliqua 'Peru' the best chance to truly flourish, it’s essential to provide a moss pole or some kind of vertical support. In its natural habitat, this plant climbs trees in the humid rainforest understory, and it’s genetically programmed to grow upwards. While it’s undeniably a slow grower, offering it something to climb—along with a bit of patience—will make all the difference. A moss pole encourages larger, more mature foliage and healthier overall growth. Giving it space and structure to grow into will reward you in time with the most spectacular leaf development this rare beauty has to offer.

Styling-wise, Monstera obliqua 'Peru' is a conversation piece. It’s not just a plant—it’s a statement. Display it in a glass dome, a sleek modern planter, or let it gently trail from a shelf in a warm, bright room. Its unusual foliage adds a delicate, textural element that few other plants can offer.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, this plant will quickly become one of your most treasured companions.

Soft, Warm, and Holds Up Well After Washing
We grabbed this primarily for couch lounging and it has been a regular rotation blanket since it arrived. The softness is legitimate, not the kind that feels good out of the packaging and then stiffens up after a wash or two. It has gone through the machine multiple times and both the texture and the leopard print have held up without fading or pilling. The 50 by 60 inch size is a comfortable fit for one person stretched out on the couch. It is warm without being heavy, which makes it practical across seasons rather than just winter. The print looks sharp and adds some personality to a living room without being over the top. For a throw blanket at this price, the quality is better than expected and it has earned a permanent spot on our couch. If you are looking for something soft, visually interesting, and durable enough to actually use regularly, this one delivers.

Pretty good blanket. Slightly larger than normal throw.
I purchased this leopard print throw blanket because you can get it in twin size and twin size is a lot more usable in not only a bed but also on a couch. Like if you have two people sitting next to each other, it's a lot easier to use the twin size than a throw size, which I feel is a little bit cramped. In addition to that, I saw in the picture that this looked almost like fur. Now when you look at it in person, you can clearly tell it's not for it's got almost like a a spotted pattern even with the spots. And while I don't know if leopards actually look like that, certainly at a distance, it feels a lot more accurate than things that are only vaguely leopard printed like the the common pink ones, as you can see here in the other variety. But certainly the Brown leopard one looks good. Plus, it is comfortable and pretty soft. It's softer on one side than another side, but only slightly and while it's rolled over and stitched at the edges, it is a single layer throughout. So it's not going to give you a ton of warmth. But I will give you some warmth, you know just enough to be nice and that means you can use it year round. So overall at this price for a twin size leopard print throw. I think this is a good deal. Well I think it could be a better deal. I've certainly seen worse so I think I could recommend this product

Pink cheetah blanket
Color: Pink Leopard, Size: Throw(50" x 60")
I recently got this pink cheetah print throw blanket, and honestly, it’s such a fun and cozy addition to my space. The first thing that stood out to me was the design—the pink leopard print is super cute and adds a pop of personality to my couch without being too overwhelming. The material is really soft and lightweight, which makes it perfect for everyday use. It’s warm enough to keep me comfortable while lounging or watching TV, but not too heavy where it feels bulky. I also like that it’s easy to fold and move around, whether I’m using it in the living room or taking it to bed. Size-wise (50” x 60”), it’s a good throw size—great for one person, though if you’re looking to fully wrap up, it might feel a bit small. The quality feels decent for the price, and it seems to hold up well after use without shedding. Pros: • Super soft and cozy • Cute, trendy design • Lightweight and easy to use • Good value for the price Cons: • Slightly small if you want full coverage • Not the thickest blanket for colder nights Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something stylish, comfy, and affordable to decorate your space while staying cozy.

This is a fabulous LIGHTWEIGHT blanket exactly as advertised!
This blanket is exactly as described, it is LIGHTWEIGHT meaning it is thinner and cooler than some of the other Berkshire lines of thicker heavier blankets. I have purchased at least 20 Berkshire blankets/throws for myself and for gifts because they are the absolute best quality at a seriously reasonable price. They are so soft and comfy and they will survive years of regular use and washing. This one is a gorgeous deep purple and is the perfect weight for our recent 85+ degree days in March with nights that still need more than a sheet but less than a comforter. It measures true to size after a thorough wash/dry cycle and I have had zero shedding issues so I’m not sure what other buyers are doing but please wash your blankets before using them. The photos show this gorgeous purple in a twin size next to a twin “Ombré Burgundy classic heavyweight” (omg go check that one out) and you can see the purple one is just about half the thickness of the other one which is exactly what I wanted for the hotter summer months coming up. If you want a thicker blanket, Berkshire makes a lot of them, just look for the ones marked “HEAVYWEIGHT” instead of going through the hassle of returning a blanket that is clearly advertised as a “lightweight soft fuzzy plush blanket or throw” and then getting mad because you got a lightweight soft fuzzy plush blanket or throw 🤣

Beautiful quality, huge, cozy, love it!
Color: Dress Blues, Size: Oversized King, Color: Dress Blues, Size: Oversized King
I really love this blanket. This blanket is super soft and has a velvety feel to it! It is so comfy! The quality is excellent, it feels beautiful and does not feel cheap at all! I love laying on it and the soft texture, it’s so soft and cozy. It has a nice weight to it but it is not too heavy. It’s very warm. This blanket is honestly huge and that’s the reason I bought it. I bought it for the size. I wanted something large enough to protect my new couch until my dogs learned to stay off of it. They would come in from outside being really excited and jump on the couch, this blanket helps to protect my couch. It does not fall off because it’s large enough to completely cover from the floor to the back behind my couch and my couch is more of an oversized. This blanket washes beautifully, it looks the same as it did when I first bought it after washing. I washed on cold and when I dried I did low heat. I ordered the blue and the color is very nice. I got a great price on this blanket when I bought it, the blue was on sale. I would definitely buy again! I am very happy with it!
