Monstera deliciosa 'Mint' D8 - Monstera variegata with a mint-green pattern
Monstera deliciosa 'Mint' is a spectacular variegated form, prized for its large leaves, which become perforated at maturity and feature an irregular pattern in shades of deep green, light green, mint green, and creamy green. Its variegation is finer and more marbled than that of many other variegated Monstera forms, and each leaf may have a completely different pattern.
As the plant matures and receives good light and vertical support, its leaves grow larger and may develop increasingly pronounced fenestrations. It is a highly prized collector's plant with an elegant tropical appearance.
