Monstera Necklace

The beautiful monstera leaf is an oft seen leaf in Hawaii, and a symbol of the tropics. A slight departure for the Kahakai collection, monstera is neither a lei flower, nor endemic, nor an endangered plant! But it is such a symbol of Hawaii life, we wanted to include it. Wear this pretty pendant year round with everything from jeans to breezy dresses for summer year round.

About Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)

Monstera is a common plant in Hawaii. While not native to Hawaii (originally from Mexico and Panama!) it has naturalized here. It is considered mildly invasive, so caution should be used when planting lest it overtake our native flora. It grows best in warm, partly shady and moist/humid areas, and are often found climbing trees. Leaves are often used in floral arrangements and in decor, while the fruit looks prehistoric and scaly. The fruit, as the name indicates, is indeed delicious, something like a cross between a pineapple and a custard apple/cherimoya. Take care, the leaves and unripe fruit are poisonous and contain calcium oxalate crystals.

US Shipping: The good news – shipping for all US orders over $100 is free!  Otherwise our standard shipping rates are $9.99 anywhere in the US (8.99 in Hawaii).  If you are fortunate enough to live in Hawaii, we are happy to arrange a pick up.

International shipments: Please be patient while your purchase makes its way to you, we are a long way from most places. In fact, Hawaii is the most remote place from any other land mass in the world!

If you would like it sent somewhere not in our shipping list, please contact us or email at hello@alohikai.com and we’ll look into it for you.
