Oh, are we excited about this little baby!
We have the highly sought after variegated Monstera ‘Thai Constellation’
which will become a large, split-leaved, variegated plant.
The Thai Constellation’s creamy green leaves are a result of a mutation in its chlorophyll, so its cream colored spots do not absorb light. That means light is a critical part of Thai Constellation Monstera care. Make sure your Monstera receives bright indirect light. If your plant isn’t getting enough light, you’ll notice leaf discoloration, slower growth, and leaves not splitting properly. However, too much sun can scorch its leaves.
As an epiphyte, Thai Constellations have sensitive aerial roots. They are particularly susceptible to root rot, more so than the parent Monstera Deliciosa. So watering properly is key. Always check that the top few inches of soil is dry before watering again or use a moisture meter. In choosing a potting soil your top priority should be good drainage. And they will want to climb, so provide a moss pole for training.
A warm house is preferred between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Any lower or higher than that will slow its growth. Or cause it to stop growing altogether.
