Monstera adansonii 'Mint'
Monstera adansonii 'Mint' is a pale green variegated Swiss cheese vine with soft mint-toned marbling over perforated leaves. The foliage shows cloudy green patches, muted pale sections and gentle marbled transitions across the classic adansonii leaf shape.
The plant grows as a slender vine with nodes and aerial roots. It can trail from a pot or climb on support, and early stem guidance keeps long vines from tangling around the pot. Pale green tissue has less chlorophyll than darker green tissue, so mint-heavy vines can slow down quickly when roots are cold, dry or stressed.
Monstera adansonii 'Mint' key features
- Colour: Soft mint-green variegation with cloudy marbling and pale green patches.
- Leaves: Narrow adansonii blades with oval Swiss cheese perforations.
- Stem: Flexible vine with nodes that can root, branch and be trained.
- Variegation: Leaf pattern can shift from greener marbling to paler mint-toned sections along the vine.
Mint variegation and vining growth
Monstera adansonii is a tropical American climber from wet forest habitats. 'Mint' keeps the same node-based growth, aerial roots and thin leaves, but the pale green pattern gives the plant a soft, clouded look across its perforated foliage.
The marbling can vary along the vine. New leaves may appear greener, cloudier or more heavily marked as the stem develops. A climbing stem keeps the leaves spaced along a clearer vertical line, while trailing stems create a looser cascade and may need more regular pruning.
Indoor flowering is uncommon. The species can produce a typical aroid inflorescence in suitable maturity and climate; indoor plants usually stay in foliage growth, with pale green variegated leaves produced along flexible vines.
Care for mint-variegated Monstera adansonii
- Light: Grow in bright indirect light. Pale mint areas need protection from strong sun, while green tissue needs enough light for regular leaf production.
- Watering: Water when about half of the pot depth feels dry. Avoid leaving the pot in standing water.
- Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite so the pot does not stay heavy for too long.
- Temperature: Keep the plant warm, ideally 18–27 °C. Cold wet substrate can damage fine roots quickly.
- Humidity: Aim for 50–70% if possible. Dry air can show first as crisping on pale leaf sections and new edges.
- Support: Use a pole, trellis or plank for upward growth. Tie stems softly and let aerial roots find the surface naturally.
- Feeding: Use low-dose feed while the vine is leafing out; flush if pale mint areas start browning after repeated fertiliser applications.
- Maintenance: Remove fully collapsed leaves, but keep partly green leaves until they yellow naturally.
- Repotting: Choose a narrow step-up pot once fine roots fill the mix; avoid extra soil volume around a pale, slower vine.
Common Monstera adansonii 'Mint' problems
- Brown mint sections: Check direct sun, underwatering, dry air or fertiliser salts. Pale green tissue marks quickly under stress.
- Soft yellowing: Inspect the potting mix and roots. Dense wet substrate can limit oxygen around the root system.
- Very slow growth: Check warmth, light, root condition and green leaf area. Pale mint-variegated vines may pause after cold roots, low light or heavy pale growth.
- Loose thin stems: Add support and move the plant closer to a bright indirect light source.
- Damaged new leaves: Look for thrips, mites or dry unfurling conditions around the newest rolled leaf.
Pet and child safety
Monstera adansonii 'Mint' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plants. Its calcium oxalate crystals can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract. Keep propagation cuttings and removed leaves out of reach.
Monstera adansonii botanical name
Monstera adansonii Schott belongs to Araceae and is native across tropical America. The genus name Monstera is associated with unusual leaf forms in the group, while adansonii honours Michel Adanson.
A supported stem gives Monstera adansonii 'Mint' a clear vertical line while the vine keeps its soft mint variegation and Swiss cheese leaf shape.

Wolverine, Warpath, Wolfsbane and X-23 (+Angel). PA fun.
Format: Kindle
Writers: Kyle & Yost.
Artist: Crain.
Darkly drawn: blacks, grays, steel blues and vibrant reds, gory, depictive of graphic violence – as this is what X-Force is all about. They’re a hit squad, folks out for blood, and serious about it. This one comes with advisories against the kiddies. It is essentially a gore-fest.
The graphic nature aside, and as well as inclusively, this is very well drawn / colored by Crain. The gorgeous yellows of Magus, the blur of red the first time Wolverine punches Cyclops, the panel expression shots of Rahne – excellent work, and it translates pretty nicely as well – but that’s also where it’s major drawback lies.
In panel over panel format it’s done in pretty linear fashion (mostly top to bottom). In some regards this works better for this particular Kindle version as the panels CANNOT BE ENLARGED BY TILTING the Kindle itself – the one thing I found annoying about it. In this regard it really takes away from the art, which is definitely worth examining, and it also takes away from the reading experience – as I would often find myself readjusting the Kindle to reading distance from artistic distance, or vice-versa.
The dialogue for nearly each issue opens with a stream of consciousness – you get to see inside a particular character’s thought process, and consequently, where they are bumping up against walls in their discourse and interactions with other members of the team. From this point we get the bubbled language and somewhat choppy discourse between the characters. In my experience with this, I can say I felt the pace of the story quick, maybe too quick.
It’s secondary villain (Risman) is built off of ‘The New X-Men’ (2004), which is pretty neat, turning the concept a bit, striking it at a different angle – for instance, what if X-Force intervened against Risman’s campaign, in large-part because it got personal, well: this is what you’d get.
There’s even a bit of a sentimental lean (not sexual tension) to the story from two of our protagonists: Warpath and Rahne. Should make it interesting.
SPOILERS:
Angels & Demons, Part 1:
We see the unfolding of the chain of command / villainy (Reverend William Stryker – Matthew Risman & his Purifiers and a mutant-hating sentinel: Nimrod’s head + Bastion’s body = ?), and the selection of the group members to represent X-Force, Wolverine to head the group consisting of: X-23 (Laura Kinney), Wolfsbane (Rahne), and Warpath (James Proudstar). We learn their mission target is the Purifiers who had snuck into (with inside help) the Xavier Institute, killed 16 students and then stole Nimrod’s severed head. Specifically the hit is put out for Matthew Risman.
X-Force creeps up on their first mission with zilch for a game plan. That’s why we see at the end of Part 1, Rahne has already been captured and presumably assassinated. To blame: her haste, and Wolverine not wanting any of them there to begin with.
Angels & Demons, Part 2:
X-23, apparently the most prone to risk amongst the group (Wolverine’s clone, has undergone intensive punishment), triggers a bomb, leveling the North Dakota church that Risman has X-Force pinned down and nearly captured. Wolfsbane is absconded with yet again by Risman and Wolverine confronts Cycolps, as Wolverine knew it a bad idea to bring her along, de facto.
We encounter Rahne’s back-story with ‘Reverend Craig’, a non-mutant Purifier who is also, twistedly, Rahne’s father. Commence drugging and lecturing about her sinfulness. This is called ‘Delivering’ and according to Reverend Craig it feels ‘righteous’.
Reverend Risman is usurped by Bastion who now officially heads the mutant extermination operation. He calls upon his nascent techno-organic pet from the sea – ‘Magus’.
Angels & Demons, Part 3:
This edition circles around the resurrection of Magus, and Bastion’s assembling a type of consortium of resurrected players, presumably upon which to feed Magus. The names include: Donald Pierce (Leader of the Reavers), Reverend William Stryker (aforementioned), and Bolivar Trask (creator of the Sentinels).
Risman apparently fails to kill Rahne as Bastion had commanded. He seems to be knowingly lying to him. Risman wants Reverend Stryker’s plan carried out, and he’s willing to fight Bastion on this point.
Because of Risman’s purposeful neglect the group recovers Rahne, but she’s OD’d on heroin.
This section of the work does a stellar job pushing Warpath as a likable character, true tough guy, but still sensitive – as a lot of his feeling is projected toward Rahne.
Angels & Demons, Part 4:
Rahne recovers with an assist from Elixer, who was beckoned by Angel to dilute her blood. When Rahne recovers she see’s Angel and goes berserk, transforming and ultimately tearing off his wings. These she delivers to Risman before, again, remember who she is and what she’d done under the brainwashing of Reverend Craig.
With these wings, non-organic, supernatural wings – any army of metal winged mutant assassins will be created. ‘The Choir’.
Much of Part 4 is X-23’s outlook on Wolverine. It’s interesting how her analysis of him is very subjective and entirely confusing for her. She denotes her back-history as consisting of embryonic development for the Weapon-X project. She’s nearly the perfect war machine, and to see her confusion surrounding her own lack of feeling is… almost humanizing, per se.
Angels & Demons, Part 5:
After acquiring Angels wings Bastion sets Risman up to take the fall, as he uses the reincarnation of William Stryker as his personal mouth piece to denounce Risman. Risman’s ‘Choir’, men who’ve had surgically implanted metal wings, on behalf of DNA meshing with Angel’s wings, sets out to assassinate as many Purifiers sided with Bastion as possible. This issue closes with their confrontation. Risman has stated that he would crush the alien known as ‘Magus’ and then ‘the Oracle himself’. Brother Eli is coming along for moral support.
Meanwhile, Angel has become Archangel. And he’s not one iota happy about having had his wings taken from him. X-Force attempts to distract him, but the trio take quite a whooping, while Rahne is transforming and escaping the clutches of the Purifiers. I’d much wished she’d offed her father (Reverend Craig) when she had the chance… *disappointed face*
Part 5, something akin to Part 4, stars Matthew Risman as the introductory narrator. The spring-well from which the story comes forth, who’s thoughts, politics and perspectives are intertwined with the dialogue – in this particular case to show that Risman, rather than Bastion, is the more likable villain… or simply the lesser of the two evils.
Angels and Demons, Part 6:
Entering the ensuing battle more toward the end, Wolverine makes a recount of the events that led up to the carnage they walked in upon. Archangel slaughtered as many Purifiers as he could (meaning: all of them) in efforts to find his wings – which he successfully does.
Risman has his cranium opened up by X-23 and Wolverine takes on Bastion. Bastion escapes but not without revealing his Consortium of mutant slaughtering regenerates. At this juncture the story takes on the typical multi-villain arch common to so many. An assembly, a hit-force, which eventually fails… because it has to.
Rahne finally does get the opportunity to avenge herself. Will the psychological scars of her actions torment the rest of her existence?
With Bastion on the loose, his 7 villain super-team currently stoic puppets & Eli Bard in apparent control of Magus, in what manner will X-Force continue the fight in ‘X-Force Volume 2: Old Ghosts’?

Story develops well. And X Force characters are intriguingly likable, as is their developing story.
Format: Kindle
Wolverine's point of view works well for navigating this story, as X Force is put back together to face familiar enemies. However descent among their foes takes this plot left field and sets up an even bigger stage for a bigger showdown. The book is only six chapters, but they all tie in flawlessly, and the story and character relationships with each other are masterfully crafted . Can't wait to read vol.2. I strongly recommend you read this if you are considering it . The characters are all likable and keep you interested . Edgier darker X-men, but not emo. Cool. And this story develops well.

Best of a “Good” situation
This graphic novel arrived in the best “Good” level condition I’ve ever seen. It appeared to be an ex library copy that had excellent protection tape on the cover. I peeled that off and have perfect cover and barely any wear on the pages/binding.
The novel itself was epic too.

Great Great Great
With the extinction of mutants a very real possibly and some very nasty enemies plotting terrible things Cyclops decides the time is nigh to put together a Black-Ops style squad to hunt and kill the most extreme threats to mutant kind. Thus begins this series of X-Force and it begins with a bang I must say. Fantastic art, brutal violence, X-Men with blades %^&*ing ^%$# up... what's not to love?

Good read
Format: Kindle
It's a sign of laziness & lack of creative skill to cast some American Christian group as the twisted bad guys (note to Marvel: it's been done - hire better writers) but hey, I guess some folk are ok publishing & cashing their paychecks with offensive material.
As long as you don't take this book as serious as it takes itself, you'll be able to distract yourself with some mindless, formulaic fun.
Read this on kindle; even brightness all the way up, images still a bit too dark. It would also be great if kindle allowed pinch-zoom to see more detail in the frames instead of double tap to call out a frame. other than that this is a decent offering, quick, fun read.
