Description

The Monstera Deliciosa Variegata is a true showstopper with her unique blend of green and creamy white foliage. Each leaf is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece — no two are alike. This variegated version of the classic Swiss Cheese Plant brings tropical flair into your home, but with a refined twist. Thanks to her striking pattern and elegant leaf structure, she’s adored by plant lovers and interior stylists alike.

Beyond her aesthetic charm, she’s also functional: she helps purify the air and contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Whether you place her in a bright corner of the living room or let her shine as a statement piece on a plant stand — she’s guaranteed to draw attention. And despite her exclusive appearance, she’s surprisingly easy to care for.

What makes her extra special is that she grows a bit slower than her fully green sister. That’s because the white portions of her leaves contain no chlorophyll. But with a little patience and love, she’ll develop into a graceful and powerful plant that lasts for years.

Care tips

Monstera Variegata loves bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight is a no-go, especially for her white leaf sections — they’re extra sensitive to burning. Place her near a window with sheer curtains or in a spot where the sunlight is gently filtered. Too little light can cause her variegation to fade, so a well-lit location is essential.

When it comes to watering: she prefers lightly moist soil, but soggy roots are a big no. Let the top layer of soil dry out before watering again. In summer, she’s a bit thirstier; in winter, you can take it easy. Use lukewarm water and avoid letting water sit on her leaves — it can cause brown spots, especially on the white areas.

Since she comes from tropical rainforests, she appreciates high humidity. Mist her leaves occasionally with a fine spray, or place a bowl of water nearby to boost the humidity. During the growing season (spring/summer), feed her monthly with a gentle plant fertilizer. And give her space to climb — a moss pole or trellis will make her truly happy.
