Monstera Standleyana Aurea Variegated

Monstera Standleyana Aurea (Monstera standleyana ‘Aurea Variegata’) is a climbing monstera with long, oval, unsplit leaves streaked and speckled in yellow. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a full-rooted plant with 2–3 leaves, without a pot.

What does Monstera Standleyana Aurea look like?

Monstera standleyana has narrow, oval leaves with a pointed tip and no holes or splits, which is the quickest way to tell it apart from Monstera adansonii or deliciosa. On this aurea form the green is broken up by creamy yellow streaks, speckles and sometimes larger golden sections. The leaves sit on long stems along a vine that climbs with aerial roots.

Variegation differs from plant to plant, and new leaves may come out with more or less color than the ones in the photos. If you like the climbing species, see our other monsteras.

How do you care for Monstera Standleyana Aurea?

• Light: Bright indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the yellow areas, but too little light gives you greener new leaves.
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of mix are dry. Don’t let it sit wet.
• Humidity: 50% or higher keeps new leaves opening cleanly.
• Soil: A chunky aroid mix of bark, perlite, coco coir and some potting soil, so the roots get air.
• Temperature: 65–85°F. Keep it above 60°F.
• Pets: Toxic to cats and dogs. Like other aroids it contains calcium oxalate crystals, which irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed.

Give it a moss pole or a slab to climb. Leaves on a climbing stem grow larger than leaves on a vine left to trail. If a stem starts putting out plain green leaves, prune back to the last leaf with good yellow streaking.

What will I receive?

A full-rooted plant with 2–3 leaves, shipped without a pot. Variegation differs from plant to plant, so yours will not match the photo leaf for leaf.
