Monsteras have muscles! …..almost 😋 We call this muscle the geniculum. It is the the junction between the leaf blade and petiole. You can recognize it as the wrinkled petiole part on the image below. (It is not wrinkled on all Monstera species and variations) A geniculum is typical for the Monstera genus and allows the plant to direct its leaves towards the sun.
