Monstera variegata 'Thai Constellation'

Monstera 'Thai Constellation' is a cultivar of the species Monstera deliciosa, belonging to the Araceae family. This cultivar presents a sectoral variegation, in varying shades of white-cream-yellow and green distributed irregularly on the surface of the leaves, resulting from a genetic mutation.

The mature leaves of this plant are fenestrations (and/or perforations) and cordate in shape, with entire or lobed margins. Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' is a large epiphytic vine, meaning it grows naturally on other plants without being parasitic and gains support by wrapping itself around the host.

Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' requires indirect, moderate to intense light, a substrate with adequate drainage properties and irrigation when the first few centimeters of substrate have dried out. In response to the plant's natural tendency to climb, the use of a generously sized support or mosstok is recommended to facilitate the plant's development in height.

Humidity . Given the origin of the basic species (tropical jungle), the plant thrives in conditions of high atmospheric humidity. However, it can be acclimatized relatively easily in the range of 40-60%, the higher option being preferred. During the acclimatization periods it is recommended to spray the leaves frequently at the beginning, to avoid the appearance of black spots. Spraying can be gradually reduced.

Height with pot included: approx. 30 cm
Pot diameter: 11 cm

Note: Sensitive variety that may show foliage defects due to transport and handling. The level and pattern of variegation differs from one specimen to another, but all specimens show specific variegation.
