Monstera deliciosa 'Platinum' - limited

Hi there!

These are cuttings from our own motherplant. This is a highly creamy sport of Monstera large form. A true gem!

Light

• Bright, indirect light is essential.

• Tolerates gentle morning or evening sun; avoid strong midday sun.

• Insufficient light can cause loss of variegation and weak growth.

Watering

• Water when the top 3–5 cm of the substrate has dried.

• Slightly on the drier side is better than too wet.

• Use room-temperature water when possible.

Substrate

• Use a very airy, well-draining mix, for example:

  • bark or orchid bark

  • perlite or pumice

  • coco coir or peat

• Avoid compact soil, as it greatly increases the risk of root rot.

Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–27 °C

• Avoid temperatures below 16 °C

• Protect from cold drafts.

Humidity

• Prefers 60%+ humidity, but adapts to normal indoor conditions.

• Higher humidity promotes larger, healthier leaves.

Fertilizer

• Feed lightly during the growing season (spring–summer).

• Use ¼–½ of the recommended strength.

• Excess fertilizer can damage the white variegated tissue.

Support

• Grows best with a moss pole or climbing support.

• Encourages larger leaves and more stable variegation.

Pruning & Variegation

• If fully green shoots appear, prune back to a variegated node.

• Variegation is genetically unstable and highly dependent on light.

Common Issues

• Brown edges: low humidity, salt buildup, or inconsistent watering.

• Yellowing leaves: usually caused by overwatering.

• Very slow growth is normal for this variety.
