Monstera "Monstruo blanco"

Monstera 'White Monster' is a rare and dramatic variegated form of Monstera deliciosa, celebrated for its large fenestrated leaves marked by striking white sectors, marbling and splashes. The stark contrast between pure white and rich green gives it a bold and graphic look that stands out in any collection. This cultivar is highly prized for its unpredictable variegation and eye-catching presence.

Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can burn the white areas, while too little light may reduce variegation over time.

Watering
Water when the top 2 to 3 centimeters (about 1 inch) of soil feels dry. Maintain light moisture in the soil without letting it become soggy.

Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally above 60 percent. Higher humidity supports optimal leaf development and coloration.

Temperature
Best kept between 18 and 26 °C (65 to 79 °F). Avoid cold air, drafts and sudden environmental changes.

Soil
Use a well-draining and breathable mix. A blend of coco coir, perlite and bark provides excellent root aeration and moisture control.

Fertilizing
Feed every two weeks during the active growing season using a diluted fertilizer. Reduce feeding during winter months.

Notes
As a climbing Monstera, 'White Monster' benefits from a moss pole or trellis to promote upright growth and mature leaf formation. Due to the lack of chlorophyll in white areas, avoid cutting off green portions entirely, as they help power the plant’s growth.
