Monstera deliciosa (aka Swiss Cheese plant) is the most iconic tropical houseplant around. The Albo variegated version is a unique twist on this classic. It is one of the most popular plants of the last few years. Monstera albo are easy to grow under bright indirect light in most homes.
Beautiful foliage
Makes an attractive and unusual houseplant
Quite fast growers
Origin: South America
Growth Habit: Climber
Water: Water little and often, only when top inch of substrate is dry. Do not allow to dry fully.
Light: Monstera albo enjoy bright indirect light, more variegation = more light. Be aware of direct sunlight as it can scorch. Low light may cause reversion to non-albo Monstera.
Humidity: Not fussy but high humidity will help support higher variegated leaves. If you find tips browning, you can try increasing light and humidity. Humidity can be improved with a humidifier or by grouping plants. We don't recommend spraying the plants.
Growing Tips:
Fertiliser: To help support variegated leaves we recommend the use of a low nitrogen fertiliser. Or a weak balanced liquid fertiliser would work. Too much nitrogen, and/or a lack of light, can cause reversion to green leaves. Feed can be given at 1/4 strength with each watering in spring and summer or at full strength once a month. Most people stop feeding in winter but if the plant is still growing, continue to feed it regularly.
Soil Choice: Monstera also have very succulent roots and need a well draining soil mix to prevent root rot. They can be repotted once the roots fill the current pot. This is likely to be once every couple of years.
Propagation: Monstera albo propagation is best done during the growing season. In spring and summer stem cuttings can be grown in a mix of moss and perlite. Ensure each stem cutting has at least 1 node. Keep the cutting moist and in bright indirect light. They need warm temperatures to root well.
Please note: We have photographed the least variegated plants within out stock. The plant received will be the same, if not better than the image shown.
