Monstera variegata 'Thai Constellation'

Monstera 'Thai Constellation' is a cultivar of the species Monstera deliciosa, belonging to the Araceae family. This cultivar features sectorial variegation, in varying shades of white-cream-yellow and green irregularly distributed over 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 edges. 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 the host.

Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' requires indirect light, moderate to strong, a substrate with proper drainage properties, and watering when the top few centimeters of the substrate have dried. In response to the plant’s natural climbing tendency, it is recommended to use a support or moss pole of generous size to facilitate the plant’s vertical growth.

Humidity. Considering the origin of the base species (tropical jungle), the plant thrives in conditions of high atmospheric moisture. However, it can be relatively easily acclimated within the range of 40-60%, with the higher end preferred. During acclimation periods, it is recommended to spray the leaves frequently at first to prevent the appearance of black spots. Spraying can be gradually reduced.
