Plant Bio

Monstera lechleriana Albo-Variegata

Like most Monstera species, Monstera lechleriana is native to South America, where it can be naturally found growing in rainforests from Panama south to Peru. It’s sometimes confused with other Monstera species, particularly the more common Monstera adansonii an Monstera Esqueleto. It tends to form fenestrations later than Monstera adansonii and tends to show fenestrations closer to the midrib (center of the leaf) than either adansonii or Esqueleto.

To keep this variegated vining houseplant happiest, grow it in medium to bright indoor light, ideally, within about 3 feet of an unobstructed east- or west-facing window (or the equivalent if you grow under artificial lights). It can tolerate lower light, but it won’t grow as quickly and will appear more leggy (with longer stretches of stem between the leaves). Water Variegated Monstera lechleriana as the top quarter to half of the potting mix dries to the touch if you take it out of its Wick & Grow self-watering system. Average household temperatures and humidity levels are just fine for this low-maintenance climbing houseplant.

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
