Monstera Albo variegata

Monstera Borsigiana Albo 

Fully-rooted cutting with active grow point or new leaf. Grower’s choice. Best plants chosen first! 

The Monstera ‘Albo Variegata’, commonly referred to as the Monstera Albo, is a highly sought-after variety of Monstera, prized for its distinctive variegation. This plant, part of the Araceae family, showcases a striking contrast between the typical green foliage and patches or streaks of white variegation. The variegation is caused by a lack of chlorophyll in some parts of the leaves.

Like its non-variegated counterpart, the Monstera ‘Albo Variegata’ thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil. It’s important to avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged, and the plant benefits from high humidity.

Due to the lack of chlorophyll in the variegated areas, this plant may grow more slowly than the standard Monstera adansonii, as chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis. Thus, providing adequate light is even more crucial for its growth.

The Monstera ‘Albo Variegata’ is also a climber and appreciates support like a trellis or moss pole. Being toxic if ingested, it should be kept away from pets and children. The rarity and unique appearance of this plant make it a highly coveted item among collectors and enthusiasts.
