Monstera deliciosa ‘Mint’ – 125mm
Monstera deliciosa ‘Mint’ is a beautiful and highly desirable variegated form of the classic Monstera deliciosa. Its striking foliage features delicate mint-green, creamy-white and darker green marbling, creating a soft, almost frosted appearance. Each leaf develops its own unique pattern, making every plant individually distinctive.
As the plant matures, its foliage becomes larger and develops the iconic splits and fenestrations associated with Monstera deliciosa. This stunning variety is a wonderful addition to any tropical plant collection.
Monstera deliciosa ‘White Monster’ – 70mm
Monstera deliciosa ‘White Monster’ is an extraordinary collector's variety admired for its unusual white, cream and green variegation. Its foliage can display beautiful marbling, speckling and contrasting patches of colour, with each new leaf offering a unique appearance.
As it matures, this climbing tropical plant can develop larger, beautifully fenestrated leaves. Its distinctive colouring and unpredictable variegation make it a fascinating addition to any collection.
Together, these two beautiful Monsteras create an exceptional gift box, offering collectors the opportunity to enjoy two distinctive forms of variegation as their plants grow and mature.
Care Plan
Monstera deliciosa ‘Mint’ – 125mm
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to support healthy growth and maintain its beautiful variegation. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the lighter areas of the foliage.
-
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 28°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
-
Watering: Allow the top 3–5 cm of potting mix to dry before watering thoroughly. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet, as this can contribute to root rot.
-
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally between 60–80%. Good airflow is important, particularly in humid environments.
-
Soil: Requires a well-draining, aerated aroid potting mix that retains some moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely.
-
Fertiliser: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser at a diluted strength every 4–6 weeks during active growth. Reduce feeding during cooler months when growth slows.
-
Additional Information: As the plant matures, providing a climbing support can encourage larger foliage and more pronounced fenestrations. Variegation naturally varies between leaves, and future colour patterns cannot be guaranteed.
Monstera deliciosa ‘White Monster’ – 70mm
-
Light: Prefers bright, filtered indirect light. Adequate light supports healthy growth, particularly in plants with significant white variegation. Avoid direct afternoon sunlight, as pale foliage is especially susceptible to scorching.
-
Temperature: Grows best between 20°C and 28°C. Maintain stable temperatures and avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.
-
Watering: Allow the upper 2–3 cm of potting mix to dry slightly before watering. Young plants should not be allowed to remain excessively dry for extended periods, but waterlogging must also be avoided.
-
Humidity: Thrives in humidity levels of approximately 60–80%. Consistent humidity helps support healthy new foliage, particularly the delicate white sections.
-
Soil: Prefers a light, well-aerated aroid mix with excellent drainage. A combination of quality potting mix, orchid bark and perlite can provide a suitable balance of moisture retention and airflow.
-
Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser at a diluted strength every 4–6 weeks during active growth. Avoid overfertilising, especially while the plant is young.
-
Additional Information: The white portions of the foliage contain little to no chlorophyll, making them more delicate and susceptible to browning. Maintain consistent watering, humidity and gentle lighting. Variegation may change as the plant matures, and future leaf patterns cannot be guaranteed.
