Description

Monstera Deliciosa var. Borsigiana Variegata with white variegated leaves is an iconic, highly sought-after houseplant! We only ever release them in small batches as they are very hard to get.

As the plant matures, the leaves of Monstera Variegata get splits (so-called fenestrations) and eventually holes. It’s a perfect plant for anyone looking to add some bold foliage into their room. It’s an avid grower, so you’ll find yourself trimming it regularly or else it will take over your apartment 🙂

Monstera Deliciosa var. Borsigiana Variegata loves to climb!  If you’ll let her, she will produce more mature foliage more quickly.

Good tip: If your plant’s aerial roots are all over the place, you can either trim them or bury them in the soil with the plant. There is no evidence that trimming off aerial roots could damage the plant.

 

 

More about variegation

What causes leaves to be partially white? The variegation Monstera Deliciosa var. Borsigiana Variegata is showing is a genetic mutation called chimeral variegation. That’s why the degree of whiteness can vary strongly from leaf to leaf! Has your Monstera produced a completely green leaf? Then cut it back to the last variegated leaf and hope for the new growth to be more variegated.

Please note that variegated plants may also be less vigorous! For example, leaves that emerge completely white are unable to photosynthesise, so they typically don’t last very long.

Monstera Care Tips

Light

Monsteras thrive best in bright indirect light. It will tolerate much lower light conditions, but will grow much more slowly if at all. Do not expose your Monstera to direct light or you might risk crispy, burnt leaves.

Water

Monsteras like their soil to stay moist, but never wet. Water when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch.

Most Monsteras will tolerate drying out if you miss a watering, but try not to overdo it or you might cause its roots to shrivel up and rot when watered again. When its leaves look droopy is when you should water your Monstera at the latest, but it is better not to let it get to that point all too often!

Also, do not water your Monstera when the top half of the soil is still moist or you will risk root rot. Always remove excess water from the saucer to avoid the plant sitting in water.

Humidity

Monsteras are tropical plants and will appreciate high humidity. However, they make for such great houseplants because they do not require it to thrive. Moderate humidity 50% will work well for most Monsteras.

Temperature

Monsteras, being tropical plants, prefer temperatures of no lower than 15 and no higher than 30 degrees Celsius. Ideally, they should be grown in usual household temperatures.

Soil

Monsteras love growing in a very well-draining, loose substrate, such as our Aroid Potting Mix, which was developed specifically for plants in the Aroid family.

If you prefer mixing soil yourself, we recommend a mix of 1/3 bark, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coco coir.

Toxicity

Monsteras are toxic to pets and humans when ingested. Typically, ingestion will cause stomach irritation and potentially vomiting.
