Esqueleto is a tropical foliage plant valued for its highly fenestrated leaves and climbing growth habit.
Esqueleto features elongated leaves that develop from a central base along vining stems, with foliage transitioning from more solid juvenile leaves to deeply split, highly fenestrated mature forms. The rich green leaves have a slightly matte surface, and fenestrations become more pronounced as the plant climbs and establishes on a support. As it matures, the foliage increases in size and complexity, forming a bold, vertical display with strong architectural presence. This plant is widely used in collector and tropical environments for its distinctive foliage, climbing habit, and ability to create dramatic vertical interest in plant groupings and decorative displays.
Why it works
· Deep fenestrations create a striking, skeletal look
· Climbing habit encourages larger, more dramatic leaves
· Unique foliage adds strong collector appeal
Key Specs
