Monstera Adansonii Variegated

Monstera Adansonii Variegated (Monstera adansonii ‘Variegata’) is the variegated Swiss cheese vine, with thin, holed leaves splashed white or yellow. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a plant with at least two leaves, similar to the photos.

What does Monstera Adansonii Variegated look like?

The leaves are thin and oval, with a row of oval holes on each side of the midrib, and are marked with white or yellow splashes, streaks or half-moon sections. It grows as a vine that climbs or trails.

Variegation varies from plant to plant, and new leaves may show more or less color than the ones in the photos. The plain green adansonii is common; it is the variegation that makes this form scarce. See other monsteras for other forms.

How do you care for Monstera Adansonii Variegated?

• Light: Bright indirect light. It tolerates medium light, but variegation fades and leaves get smaller. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the pale parts.
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Keep it evenly moist, never waterlogged.
• Humidity: 50% or higher. A humidifier helps the thin leaves unfurl without tearing.
• Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix with bark and perlite.
• Temperature: 65–85°F. Keep it above 60°F.
• Pets: Toxic to cats and dogs. Like other aroids it contains calcium oxalate, which irritates the mouth and stomach if chewed. Keep it away from pets and children.

Thin variegated leaves dry out fast at the edges. If you see crispy brown edges on the white parts, raise the humidity before you change anything else.
