Monstera Aurea

Monstera Aurea is a rare and eye-catching variegated form of Monstera deliciosa, admired for its vibrant yellow marbling and patchwork across deep green leaves. Each leaf develops its own unique pattern, often combining sectoral splashes, speckles and streaks of golden variegation. With proper care, it becomes a bold centerpiece and a must-have for collectors who appreciate both beauty and rarity.

Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the variegated areas, while too little light may reduce variegation.

Watering
Water when the top 2 to 3 centimeters (about 1 inch) of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged.

Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally above 60 percent. Consistent humidity helps support vibrant color and steady growth.

Temperature
Best maintained between 18 and 26 °C (65 to 79 °F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

Soil
Use a well-draining, airy mix. A blend of coco coir, perlite and bark works well to ensure root health and aeration.

Fertilizing
Feed every two weeks during the growing season with a diluted fertilizer. Avoid overfeeding, especially during the dormant season.

Notes
As a climbing species, Monstera Aurea benefits from a moss pole or trellis to encourage vertical growth and mature leaf development. Rotate the plant occasionally to maintain even variegation exposure and avoid leaning toward the light source.
