2.5" Monstera Adansonii Albo Variegated - REVERTED

Difficulty: Easy

Pet Friendly: No

Rarity: Uncommon

*** This plant did have albo (white) variegated leaves, but the leaves died, and no white variegation remains on the leaves of the plant. The stems of the plant are still partially white, indictating potential to regrow partially white leaves. If you care for the plant as described below, it has the potential of growing variegated leaves again.***

Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera Adansonii)

Native to Central and South America, Monstera Adansonii, commonly known as Swiss Cheese Plants, grow naturally on the rainforest floor, often finding a tree or rock to grow on the side of it. 

This tropical plant requires bright indirect sunlight and good drainage to thrive. Containers with drainage holes and well-draining tropical houseplant soil will help prevent root rot. If possible, use a mix with 27% pumice, 27% orchid bark, 27% coco coir, 9.5% compost or worm castings, and 9.5% charcoal. Wait for the top two inches of the soil to dry out before watering again. If you cannot provide your Monstera with this mixture, I have found that regular tropical houseplant soil works well. To help your regular tropical houseplant soil mix boost growth for your Monstera, add some slightly acidic fertilizers. A sprinkle of coffee grounds has helped me in the past.
