Monstera deliciosa albo variegated

Monstera deliciosa albo variegated

This Monstera is prized for its large leaves with unique white and green variegation. As a climbing tropical vine, it thrives with support to reach full leaf size and fenestrations. Bright, consistent light and regular care are essential to preserve its vibrant colors and overall health.

  • Light: Requires bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. Too little light will reduce the white coloring, while direct sun will easily burn the white sections.
  • Temperature: Thrives in warm, stable conditions, ideally between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (60% or above) to help leaves unfurl cleanly and prevent the white areas from browning.
  • Watering: Allow the top 2-3 inches of the potting mix to dry out before watering thoroughly. Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

This Monstera is a strong climber and benefits greatly from a sturdy moss pole or support structure to reach maturity. The 'Albo Variegata' grows slower than all-green varieties because the white sections lack chlorophyll.
