Monstera adansonii 'Mint'
Monstera adansonii 'Mint' is a pale green variegated Swiss cheese vine with soft mint-toned marbling over perforated leaves. The foliage shows cloudy green patches, muted pale sections and gentle marbled transitions across the classic adansonii leaf shape.
The plant grows as a slender vine with nodes and aerial roots. It can trail from a pot or climb on support, and early stem guidance keeps long vines from tangling around the pot. Pale green tissue has less chlorophyll than darker green tissue, so mint-heavy vines can slow down quickly when roots are cold, dry or stressed.
Monstera adansonii 'Mint' key features
- Colour: Soft mint-green variegation with cloudy marbling and pale green patches.
- Leaves: Narrow adansonii blades with oval Swiss cheese perforations.
- Stem: Flexible vine with nodes that can root, branch and be trained.
- Variegation: Leaf pattern can shift from greener marbling to paler mint-toned sections along the vine.
Mint variegation and vining growth
Monstera adansonii is a tropical American climber from wet forest habitats. 'Mint' keeps the same node-based growth, aerial roots and thin leaves, but the pale green pattern gives the plant a soft, clouded look across its perforated foliage.
The marbling can vary along the vine. New leaves may appear greener, cloudier or more heavily marked as the stem develops. A climbing stem keeps the leaves spaced along a clearer vertical line, while trailing stems create a looser cascade and may need more regular pruning.
Indoor flowering is uncommon. The species can produce a typical aroid inflorescence in suitable maturity and climate; indoor plants usually stay in foliage growth, with pale green variegated leaves produced along flexible vines.
Care for mint-variegated Monstera adansonii
- Light: Grow in bright indirect light. Pale mint areas need protection from strong sun, while green tissue needs enough light for regular leaf production.
- Watering: Water when about half of the pot depth feels dry. Avoid leaving the pot in standing water.
- Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite so the pot does not stay heavy for too long.
- Temperature: Keep the plant warm, ideally 18–27 °C. Cold wet substrate can damage fine roots quickly.
- Humidity: Aim for 50–70% if possible. Dry air can show first as crisping on pale leaf sections and new edges.
- Support: Use a pole, trellis or plank for upward growth. Tie stems softly and let aerial roots find the surface naturally.
- Feeding: Use low-dose feed while the vine is leafing out; flush if pale mint areas start browning after repeated fertiliser applications.
- Maintenance: Remove fully collapsed leaves, but keep partly green leaves until they yellow naturally.
- Repotting: Choose a narrow step-up pot once fine roots fill the mix; avoid extra soil volume around a pale, slower vine.
Common Monstera adansonii 'Mint' problems
- Brown mint sections: Check direct sun, underwatering, dry air or fertiliser salts. Pale green tissue marks quickly under stress.
- Soft yellowing: Inspect the potting mix and roots. Dense wet substrate can limit oxygen around the root system.
- Very slow growth: Check warmth, light, root condition and green leaf area. Pale mint-variegated vines may pause after cold roots, low light or heavy pale growth.
- Loose thin stems: Add support and move the plant closer to a bright indirect light source.
- Damaged new leaves: Look for thrips, mites or dry unfurling conditions around the newest rolled leaf.
Pet and child safety
Monstera adansonii 'Mint' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plants. Its calcium oxalate crystals can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract. Keep propagation cuttings and removed leaves out of reach.
Monstera adansonii botanical name
Monstera adansonii Schott belongs to Araceae and is native across tropical America. The genus name Monstera is associated with unusual leaf forms in the group, while adansonii honours Michel Adanson.
A supported stem gives Monstera adansonii 'Mint' a clear vertical line while the vine keeps its soft mint variegation and Swiss cheese leaf shape.

Worth reading to better understand blood sugar, but don’t limit yourself to this one resource
Format: Hardcover
My mother had type 2 diabetes and ultimately died from related kidney failure. For years I have exercised and managed my diet in an effort to avoid a similar fate. I was therefore stunned during a recent doctor's appointment when it was revealed that my hemoglobin A1c was above normal limits. I immediately ordered a continous glucose monitor and was dismayed to see that my blood glucose levels were regularly exceeding what would be considered normal. I am now trying to learn as much as possible about preventing these elevated glucose levels.
In my research I was led to Jessie Inchauspe (Glucose Goddess on Instagram) and decided to buy her book, The Glucose Revolution. I will say that the majority of the information in this book is available for free on her Instagram account. However, I like the simplicity of reading through the book rather than scrolling through posts and reels.
The author gives a thorough overview of glucose, explaining the different forms and how they act in our bodies. She explains glucose spikes and has a really good explanation of what the hemoglobin A1c test is measuring. She then shares 10 hacks to help lower your blood sugar levels that I feel are relatively easy to incorporate into your eating plan. Some of them, like eating dessert over a sweet snack (eat a sweet food after a meal rather than on its own) were things that I have already been doing intuitively.
I do wonder at the description of our stomachs as a sink and the intestine as the pipe below. She claims that when we eat carbs first, they flow uninterrupted into the intestine. Drawing on information from my college nutrition classes many years ago, I seem to remember that chemical digestion begins in your mouth and that because of the churning in your stomach, the food that you eat will all be mixed around and therefore it doesn't really matter what order you eat your foods in. That being said, it's a relatively minor thing to eat a veggie starter and/or eat foods in the described order.
I also question the idea that our blood sugar shouldn't rise more than 30 points after eating. If my blood sugar is at 80, that means after eating my glucose level should not be above 110. That is well below the generally accepted rise to 140. I'm not saying that we should always be going to that level, but even a modest rise to 120 would not be accepable according to the standards presented in the book.
Of note, the author does not have diabetes or prediabetes and started the Glucose Goddess after working for a company that was developing continuous glucose monitors.
Overall, I do think this book is worth reading to better understand blood sugar. I wouldn't limit your knowledge to just this one source of information though. I've been slowly working through articles and videos published on the Nourished by Science website. I really appreciate the perspective offered there. Women entering menoupause might want to investigate the effects of decling estrogen on their blood glucose levels too. The New Menopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a fantastic book on this stage of life.

Glucose Revolution is very healthy and has specific recommendations
Format: Hardcover
This was recommended by an outstanding organization that addresses discomfort and overall health and wellbeing, Pearson and Weary. This gives recommendations to stabilize glucose and flatten curves. There was beneficial discussion of the use of fiber which slows the body's glucose absorption. Comparisons of orange juice (lacks fiber) vs. eating an orange (includes fiber) that does not create a glucose spike. Evaluated sugar as a cause of not feeling well and leading to glucose spikes which can lead to heart disease, type II diabetes and cognitive decline. Glucose spikes also lead to inflammation which is a common source of illnesses: strokes, chronic respiratory disease, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes and obesity. When glucose curves are flattened the body burns fat. The book reviews the short term and long-term effects of glucose spikes. Cornell University which I attended as an undergraduate stated there is a specific order to reduce glucose spies by 73% that includes fiber 1st, protein and fat 2nd, starches and sugars last. Other recommendations: (1) never drink fruit juice as sugar from fruit is missing the fiber "resulting in disastrous blood glucose levels." (2) Breakfast cereals is one of the "worst ways to begin your day as it always creates tremendous glucose spikes." Choose savory breakfast can include yogurt, meat, cream cheese, protein powder, butter, eggs, and seeds. Toast alone increases glucose spikes but added peanut butter or avocado can minimize spike. (3) artificial sweeteners can increase insulin rise and havoc in the gastrointestinal system. (4) fasting has benefits for 8-12 hours. (5) snacking increases obesity. (6) add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a large glass of water which is best 20 minutes before eating. This approach after 3 months led to a loss of 2-4 pounds. Vinegar stimulates mitochondria to burn more fat. (7) exercising after eating can also reduce glucose spike and is beneficial within 70 minutes of food consumption.

READ THIS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER NOW!!!
33% of Americans are verging on type 2 diabetes and do not know it.
This should make you run to get this book!
Following Glucose goddess on Instagram and got her book as well. It is easy to read, with fun illustrations by the author. She has truly helped me so much with my insulin resistance and managing my glucose spikes. "Lifestyle optimization" is an essential for everyone. Why wait until you are diagnosed? These hacks are simple, fun, and super easy. Her audiobook is also out now and is read by the author!! Which is awesome.
What makes this book even MORE useful though, is if you invest in a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and have the app. I had the Freestyle Libre sensor. Each sensor lasts 2 weeks on the skin and logs your real-time glucose levels 24/7. Way better than doing the old fashioned painful and wasteful lancet and test strips. Although you can verify your CGM occasionally using the lancet, and see how accurate the CGM is. You can have a CGM prescription written for you if you INSIST at your nurse practitioner's. (NPs are WAY more open to this kind of experimentation and self-monitoring...I got the rebuff from the doctor, HA!)
What is so sad is that the healthcare system is so broken that insurance will NOT cover a CGM UNTIL you have full-blown type 2 diabetes and are dependent on exogenous insulin delivery. OR if you are a type 1 diabetic and born without the ability to process glucose. Sad huh? The FDA wants you sick, fat, ugly, and miserable. We are MUCH better desperate customers then...willing and eager to take any pills to solve the problems!
Let's not be proactive and encourage the PATIENT to take measures against type 2 diabetes, right?
So there are MANY benefits of managing glucose. Fairly effortless weight loss actually. In this book she dives into nutrition science and the biochemistry of different sugars as well. She has so much credibility and science-driven data backed up by her own personal journey as well as many peer-reviewed articles.
Thank you Jessie!

Really Good Book & Inspired Me to Take Action
Format: Hardcover
After I finished reading the book, I asked my doctor for a Continuous Glucose Monitor. For two weeks, I reduced my carb & sugar intake & was able to keep my glucose in the "steady" range. Then, I ate an oatmeal cookie without pre-eating any fiber or protein. BIG SPIKE! One cookie sent my glucose soaring. I can't even imagine what happens to my body when I eat 1/2 pound of candy. This book was written in a very understandable way & it inspired me to start tracking my glucose levels. I recommend reading this book. And there is definitely something about seeing the effect on your body when you eat sugar by using a CGM. It's an almost immediate visual telling you that you're inflicting damage on yourself. When you don't see it, you can pretend it's not really happening. When I saw that spike, I imagined my poor body trying to release all that insulin to remove sugar from my blood.
