I've come across the term "Monstera Monkey" before, and it seems to be more of a popular nickname rather than an official classification in the Monstera genus. Often, these colorful nicknames might be used by plant enthusiasts or sellers to describe certain features or the perceived playful nature of the plant. It's possible that they're referring to Monstera adansonii, commonly known as the Swiss Cheese Vine. This variety is distinguished by its unique perforated leaves, which might give it a "monkey-like" look due to their playful, unusual appearance.
In terms of care, Monstera adansonii thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and enjoys high humidity, which makes it quite suitable for well-lit bathrooms or kitchens. Consistent watering is important, but like many Monsteras, overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Another identifier is the vining nature of adansonii; it does well when allowed to climb or trail, adding to its ornamental appeal.
For further identification, you might want to compare your plant with images online or reference a thorough plant guide. Books like "The House Plant Expert" by Dr. D.G. Hessayon can offer a wealth of information on various Monstera varieties, helping you spot the differences.
Have you noticed any unique features that might help narrow down what specific type it is? I find that sharing photos with local plant groups can also provide valuable insights. Let me know if there's anything more specific you'd like to delve into!
