Please note: This is an Imperfect Plant

Our Imperfect Plants are healthy, growing plants that just happen to have a few cosmetic flaws, for example a torn leaf, a scar, or some previous damage from their journey. While they may not be picture-perfect, they’re full of potential and will continue to grow beautifully with the right care. Each plant is unique and may show signs of wear, but rest assured they’re all thriving and ready to settle into a new home.

Due to the nature of these plants, Imperfect Plants are not eligible for exchanges or refunds.

 

Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' is a variegated relative of the classic Monstera deliciosa. Admired for its unique cream-coloured splashes and marbled patterns on the leaves. This plant not only adds a dramatic visual appeal to any indoor space but also retains the robust and easy-going nature of its green counterpart. With its ability to climb and spread, it can be trained to grow up a pole, making it a centrepiece in any houseplant collection.

This cultivar is perfect for plant enthusiasts who seek a low-maintenance yet visually captivating houseplant. 'Thai Constellation' thrives in a variety of indoor conditions, making it a versatile addition to your home or office environment.

Native to: Monstera deliciosa originates from the tropical rainforests of southern Mexico and Central America. The 'Thai Constellation' variety was developed in Thailand, hence its name, and it has been bred for its unique variegation patterns.

Water: Water your Monstera 'Thai Constellation' when the top 3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Use a well-draining potting mix to help manage moisture levels effectively.

Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the variegated leaves, so it's best to place it near a window where it can receive filtered light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its growth may slow, and variegation might be less pronounced.

Humidity: Monstera 'Thai Constellation' prefers humidity levels between 60% and 80%. To maintain these levels, especially in drier indoor climates, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water. This plant can also do well in terrariums due to its humidity needs.

Temperature: Keep this Monstera in an environment where temperatures range from 18°C to 27°C. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 15°C, as cold drafts can damage the foliage and hinder growth. This plant thrives in warm, stable indoor conditions that mimic its tropical origins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my plant come with a pot?
Your plant will arrive in its nursery grow pot — the plastic pot it's been growing in. We don't include a decorative pot as standard, and there's a good reason for that: it means you get to choose one that fits your space and style, rather than being stuck with something that doesn't suit your home.

It also means you're not paying extra for a pot you might not want. The nursery pot is perfectly fine to keep your plant in for a while, just pop it inside a decorative cover pot or cache pot and you're good to go. When you're ready to repot (usually after a growing season or when roots start poking out the bottom), you can move it into something more permanent with fresh soil.

If you're not sure what size cover pot to go for, check the pot selector tool listed above, you'll want a decorative pot that's a centimetre or two wider than that to give it a comfortable fit.
How big will my plant be when it arrives?
Every plant on our site includes the pot size (e.g. 12cm) and, where possible, an approximate height. That's the most reliable way to set your expectations, photos can sometimes make a plant look larger or smaller than it really is.

If you're thinking "that sounds quite small for the price," here's something worth knowing: younger, smaller plants almost always adapt better to your home than larger ones. They adjust faster to your light and humidity, put out new growth more quickly, and tend to establish stronger root systems long-term. A plant that grows into your space will usually outperform one that was already big when it arrived.

That said, every plant is an individual. The one you receive may vary slightly in height, shape, or fullness compared to the photo, that's the nature of living things, not a quality issue. We select healthy, well-established specimens, and if you ever feel your plant doesn't match what you were expecting, just get in touch and we'll take a look.
What makes your plants different from the supermarket or garden centre?
There's a big difference between a plant that's been sitting under on a retail shelf and one that's been looked after and cared for by people who specialise in exactly this.

Our plants are grown in house or sourced from specialist nurseries, many of them varieties you simply won't find at your local garden centre or supermarket. Before anything leaves us, it's checked over by our horticultural team to make sure it's healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive in your home. We're not shifting volume off a pallet, we're choosing plants we'd want to keep ourselves.

When you buy from a supermarket, you get a plant and a generic care label. When you buy from us, you get the knowledge that comes with it, detailed care guidance, a team you can actually contact if something isn't going right, and the confidence that what's arriving has been looked after properly from the moment it was grown to the moment it reaches your door.

We're a specialist nursery first, not a retailer that happens to sell plants. That's the difference, and you'll see it the moment you open the box.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
First things first, unbox it as soon as you can. Plants don't love being in dark boxes any more than you would, and the sooner yours is out and breathing, the better.

Remove all the packaging carefully, give the soil a check with your finger, and water lightly if it feels dry. Then find it a spot with appropriate light, but avoid putting it straight into harsh direct sun or next to a radiator. Think of it like arriving somewhere new after a long journey: it needs a moment to adjust.

It's completely normal for your plant to look a little tired or droopy after transit. This is called transit stress, and most plants bounce back within a week or two. You might see a yellow leaf or some drooping, don't panic, and resist the urge to overwater or start repotting straight away.

Our advice for the first couple of weeks: leave it in its nursery pot, water it only when the top layer of soil feels dry, and let it acclimatise to your home's light, temperature, and humidity. Once it's settled in and showing signs of new growth, you can think about repotting or moving it to its permanent spot.

Every plant we sell comes with a care guide on the product page so you'll know exactly what it needs going forward. And if anything doesn't look right, get in touch with our team, we're always happy to help.
Will my plant survive being shipped?
Yes! and we go to serious lengths to make sure of it. Every plant is hand-packed by our team with protective wrapping and secure, custom-designed boxes to keep it stable and safe in transit. We've shipped hundreds of thousands of plants across the UK and our packaging methods have been refined over years to handle the bumps and jolts of delivery.

During colder months, we monitor weather forecasts and offer heat packs where needed to protect against frost. In extreme conditions, we may hold your order for a day or two rather than risk sending it out, we'd rather you wait an extra day than receive a stressed plant.

That said, plants are living things, and the occasional transit wobble can happen. If your plant arrives damaged or isn't in the condition you'd expect, just get in touch within 48 hours with a photo, and we'll make it right, whether that's a replacement or a full refund. No fuss.

The short version: we treat every box like it's going to someone who really cares about what's inside, because it is.

I'm really looking forward to the challenge of trying to look after some imperfect plants, although this one seems to be in great condition already with just a small brown mark on one leaf

I ordered the rescue thai constellation at a great price. I am super happy with the plant. There is some cosmetic damage, but the roots are healthy, and I just need to wait for it to push out some new leaves.

I'm in love with my Thai Constellation baby!!!

I purchased the Imperfect Monstera Deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' as I've been coveting one for a while now. I expected it to be 'imperfect', but I can't find anything amiss - it's in fabulous condition, bigger than I expected, and has three lusciously variegated leaves. My new baby arrived all warm and cosy wrapped in a corrugated cardboard tube then further wrapped in a slinky foil jacket, all finished off in a padded box - all that was missing was a big red bow! . The soil was nice and moist too.

Grow Tropicals is fabulous for the quality of their plants, the care they take in their packaging, and plus points for being local to me, with their nursery being in Leeds, about 10 minutes away from me - Yorkshire all the way. .

I'll be back to order more for sure - actually, I did order more, but that's a story for another day. . . shhhhh

Wonderful experience (apart from courier)

The company were great to deal with. But the courier let them down, claiming that we were ‘not accessible’ at the time scheduled for delivery, meaning our plants had an extra 24 hours in the delivery system somewhere! However they were incredibly well packaged and seem to have survived the experience. The Grow Tropicals team were great throughout chasing up the courier for me.

Well cared for

Thus plant was well delivered and packaged. It was a rescued plant. With the rescue plants it would have been nice to have some basic instructions as to how to care for it and some clues as to what what is wrong with the plant and what to do to rescue it. On the whole it is great plant though
