I am very confused about these two plants. In my opinion, they are visually the same😖 Does anyone here have any idea of the difference?
The difference between Philodendron 'Hope' and Monstera is that the leaves of the Monstera plant are deeply lobed, while the leaves of Philodendron 'Hope' care lobed but do not have holes.
The difference is in the leaf structure. Monstera has fenestrated leaves with holes and slits, while philodendron has more deeply lobed leaves that are split in the midrib. Second, philodendron grows as a shrub, while monstera grows as a vine due to its growth habit. The last thing you'll notice is that the fruit is different. Philodendron plants do not produce fruit, whereas monstera plants do.
