About Variegated Monstera
Monstera deliciosa is a species of flowering plant native to the tropical rainforests of southern Mexico down to Colombia. Both the root and leaf have a long history of use in traditional medicine. In Mexico, a leaf or root infusion is taken daily to relieve arthritis. In Martinique, the root is used in remedies for snakebites. 🤒 The holes in Monstera leaves let water drip close to the roots, and they absorb the scattered beams of sunlight that make it down through the forest canopy. Their fruit also tastes like a mix of pineapple and banana! 🍍🍌

How to fertilize Variegated Monstera
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Variegated Monstera after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Lovely Alba keeps getting more and more beautiful. Amazed how far it has come from the single leaf cutting she was when I got her. I also apologise for the huuuuuuuge hiatus I have had from hanging out in this wonderful community! This year has been a lot, and I lost some plants along the way, which made me lose a bit of motivation. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #MonsteraMonday #foliagegirl #MonsteraMob #PLANTMAFIA

I know I’m a day behind for #FreshLeafFriday but I had to share the #halfmoon new leaf on my #MonsteraAlbo that is so sweetly holding hands with my #esqueleto. Both from #PlantMadness, maybe they were buddies in the nursery?

Finally my Monstera Albo’s first leaf!! I’m super excited, but also a little nervous because the leaf looks very green. The new stem has pretty good variegation, so I hope there is more when the leaf unrolls. #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraAlbo #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #newleaf #node #Propagation

Is my Monstera Albo going to grow a leaf anytime soon? He just keeps putting out more of these little stem sections. There’s another one just starting to poke out of the tallest one. Am I doing something weong that prevents him from growing a leaf? Thank you!! #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraAlbo #MonsteraBorsigiana #NewGrowth #Albo #node #monsteradeliciosa

My first fenestrated leaf! The original leaf is a big fenestrated leaf but this is the first one that’s it’s put out since my husband bought it for me. It started out as a one leaf cutting. So exciting!! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #MonsteraMonday #variegatedplants #MonsteraMob #Monstera #MonsteraAlbo

Is this normal? I bought before new year monstera borsigiana albo cutting and im trying to grow roots. But it's almost not growing? Everywhere where i read said they should grow in 3-4weeks. Can it be growing super slow because its winter and not getting enough light? Also jus started to use something to help with growing roots(person recommend that one).Before i put fertilizer and it did nothing. Now i see one more small root forming. Am i doing something wrong?

#FreshLeafFriday Both my Albo and my Constellation are putting out new growths! The new Albo leaf looks mostly white, which I’m a little concerned about, but I’m not too keen on chopping it off just yet… I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. 🥲 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantsSavedMyMentalHealth #NewGrowth #MonsteraMob #Monstera #MonsteraAlbo #ThaiConstellationMonstera

Is my Monstera Albo okay? I bought this monstera albo node in July with no growth. The axillary bud was slightly damaged, but with Keiki paste it still started growing. I just notice the very tip of the new growth has a little bit of brown on it. Should I be worried? I keep him in Leca and always have a little bit of water in the bottom of the outer pot. Should I let him completely dry out or would that damaged the roots? I took him out tonight to clean the leca and check the roots. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you so much!! #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraMonday #monsteradeliciosa #MonsteraAlbo #Albo #albomonstera #browning #node #NewGrowth
