Origin : Native to the rainforests of Central America, Monstera Standleyana grows naturally under the canopy of trees, climbing trunks and branches. The 'Albo' variegata variety is a prized horticultural selection for its distinctive variegation patterns.

Growth : Monstera Standleyana 'Albo' variegata is a vigorous climbing plant that can reach impressive heights with proper support. It develops long stems and narrow leaves that can become larger as they mature. A stake or support is often necessary to encourage its vertical growth.
