3. Main differences

The similarities between Monstera and Spring Feather are that the plants are tall, the leaves are huge, and the edges are broken, so it is difficult to distinguish the two without careful observation.

The difference between them is that the spring feathers of the first are deeply cracked, and the cracks are mainly secondary, there are no holes in the leaves, and the edges of the leaves are wavy or curled instead of flat, while the edges of the Monstera are flat without secondary cracks, and there are a large number of holes on the leaves. Secondly, when the young ones cannot be distinguished by obvious holes, the two can be mainly judged by whether the leaf edges are flat or whether secondary cracks have begun.
