Monstera variegata 'Thai Constellation'

Monstera 'Thai Constellation' is a cultivar of the Monstera deliciosa species, belonging to the Araceae family. This cultivar displays sectoral variegation, with varying shades of creamy white, yellow, and green irregularly distributed across the leaf surface, resulting from a genetic mutation.

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

Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' requires moderate to bright indirect light, a substrate with adequate drainage, and watering when the top few centimeters of the substrate have dried out. In response to the plant's natural tendency to climb, using a generously sized support or moss pole is recommended to encourage vertical growth.

Humidity. Given the origin of the parent species (tropical jungle), the plant thrives in conditions of high atmospheric humidity. However, it can be acclimatized relatively easily to a range of 40-60%, with the higher end preferred. During acclimatization, it is recommended to mist the leaves frequently at first to prevent black spots from appearing. Misting can be gradually reduced.

Height including pot: approx. 25-30 cm

Note: A sensitive variety that may develop foliage defects during transport and handling. The level and pattern of variegation vary from one specimen to another, but all specimens display characteristic variegation.
