monstera adansonii in nature Monstera adansonii 'Variegated' | PlantsMonstera adansonii 'Variegated' is a rare and highly collectable form of the much loved Swiss cheese vine. Slender, fenestrated leaves are splashed and marbled with creamy white sections that range from delicate flecks to bold half moons, creating endless variety across the plant. Stems trail happily from a hanging planter or climb readily once given a moss pole, and leaves gradually enlarge and develop more pronounced holes as the plant matures.

Origins
Monstera adansonii has a broad native range across the tropical Americas, from southern Mexico and Central America through the Caribbean and much of tropical South America, including Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. In the wild, it grows as a hemi-epiphyte in humid lowland forests, and the variegated form is a rare sport selected and propagated in cultivation.

Soil and Substrate
Our Monstera & Philodendron Premium Potting Mix features a blend of bark, perlite, coco chips, and charcoal that keeps the root zone well oxygenated, prevents rot, and supports the stable growth that helps variegation remain vibrant.
