The Monstera variegata is a variegated monstera from the araceae family. The Monstera variegata is a climbing houseplant, native to South America, the mature plant produces perforated leaves and fruits, thanks to the taste and delicacy of which the monstera deliciosa plant took its name.

Care of monstera variegata:

- Humidity: at least 50%, our plants are grown at 60-70 % humidity
- Light: it requires enough diffused light, it must not come into contact with direct sunlight, which will permanently damage it (there will appear brown spots unaesthetic)
- Substrate: it can be grown in many different substrates: in hydroponics, in inert mixtures or in well-draining mixtures, our plants are grown in a mixture of long-pile coconut fiber, perlite and additives
- Watering: if the plant is planted in a drainingmixture, it needs to be allowed to almost dry before the next watering, in the summer months and at higher temperatures watering will be more frequent than in winter at low temperatures
