All Sales Final. Degree of variegation on each plant will vary. We cannot send a specific plant.
Unlike the original plant that has green leaves, it has a cream to whitish variegations. But there are forms with yellowish variegation and mint leaves. The other thing you need to know is these variegated forms have lovely smaller juvenile leaves that may have a few holes (fenestrations) and huge highly perforated adult leaves just like the original plant. Last but not least, one challenge we have noted with some of these variegated forms is that some turn almost white. This means they hardly have enough chlorophyll for photosynthesis. If you don’t give them the right conditions, they may die. you want larger leaves, give it a place to climb. A moss pole, burlap-wrapped post, trellis, or bamboo pole will work well. But this is not a must. You can let it cascade on a hanging basket or onto your desktop, shelf, cabinet, and so on. As a plant from the tropics, it needs a warm place. So, grow your variegated Monstera adansonii in a warm place with optimum temperatures of 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This plant can tolerate a slightly lower or higher temperature. However, if it goes too low, it will grow slowly. And by the time your temperature is 50°F (10°C), it will stop growing. It would be best if you also avoided sudden dips or spikes in temperatures and cold drafts. Both these two will stress your plant. Therefore, please don’t put it near air condition or room heating vents, draft windows, fireplaces, radiators, and so on. Monstera adansonii variegata needs high humidity, about 60 to 80%. But it can still tolerate slightly lower to moderate levels. In low humidity, it may not have lush leaves. Also, it may grow slowly. If your home has low humidity, mist your plant several times a week or you can use a pebble tray or buy a humidifier.
