A species of flowering plant native to southern Mexico and Panama, Monstera deliciosa is a hardy and easy to care for plant known by many names, but most commonly the “Swiss cheese plant” due the unique development of ridges and holes on its more mature leaves.
The “deliciosa” part of the plant’s name comes from the pineapple-like fruit it bears in its natural habitat!
The Variegated Monstera requires similar care to that of the solid green Monstera deliciosa.
The main difference is the white portion of the variegated Monstera leaves cannot absorb light, so the plant needs to work twice as hard to photosynthesize.
Therefore, low light conditions are not ideal and you should keep your variegated Monstera in bright ambient light to to make it happy.
Monsteras appreciates a warm, humid environment, a good amount of water and gentle sunlight.
Place your Monstera away from vents and drafts where it would be subjected to dry air and in a spot where it can receive medium to bright indirect light.
