Monstera Thai Constellation

Shipped nationwide from Florida – New Arrivals 2 - 305 Greenery

The Thai constellation monstera is a rare and highly sought cultivar of monstera deliciosa that is prized for its variegated leaves. This monstera gets its name from the marbled and speckled patterns of its creamy white and green variegation that resemble a constellation. Just like the common monstera deliciosa, the leaves of the Thai constellation develop large fenestrations as they mature, adding a tropical flair to any space. Here are some key details:

  • Variegation: The Thai Constellation Monstera is renowned for its unique and beautiful cream or white variegation patterns, which resemble a starry night sky. The variegation is stable, meaning that the plant consistently produces leaves with these striking patterns.
  • Growth Habit: Like other Monstera deliciosa plants, the Thai Constellation has a vining growth habit, with large, fenestrated leaves that develop characteristic splits and holes as they mature. The plant can grow quite large, making it an impressive statement piece in any indoor garden.
  • Care Requirements:
    • Light: This Monstera thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can cause the variegated portions of the leaves to burn.
    • Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring that it has well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
    • Humidity: Like many tropical plants, the Thai Constellation appreciates higher humidity levels, making it well-suited for indoor environments with adequate humidity or in areas where humidity can be controlled.
  • Propagation: Propagating a Thai Constellation Monstera can be challenging due to the rarity of the plant and its slower growth rate compared to non-variegated Monstera deliciosa. Cuttings should include a node to successfully root and grow.
  • Price and Availability: Due to its popularity and the slow growth of variegated plants, the Thai Constellation Monstera can be quite expensive and may have waiting lists at some nurseries.

The Thai Constellation Monstera is not just a plant but a showpiece that adds an exotic touch to any collection, making it a true treasure for plant lovers.
