The beautiful leaves of this Monstera are striking in their variegation. Like a splash of stars across the night sky, the constellation of variegation will make an eyecatching centrepiece in your home.

As a result of your care, it can grow up to three new leaves per season and could soon be climbing up a moss pole or other support in your home!

Light

Soil
Use a coarse, well-draining soil and repot every year as it outgrows each pot.

Temperature

Ideal temperature is 18-30°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
