Welcome to the world of Monstera Thai Constellation! This magnificent plant is the epitome of a rare and unique collector?s item. It is a tissue culture variety of the Monstera Deliciosa, engineered in Thailand, hence the first part of its name. But what makes it truly special is its stunning marble variegated leaves, which seem to be patterned with stars in a galaxy, making it a true showstopper. The creamy colour of its signature splatters and fenestration only adds to the striking and sophisticated look of the plant.
Unlike other plants, the variegation on the Monstera Thai Constellation is stable, which means it will keep its gorgeous variegation with great consistency and will not revert to fully green leaves. This stunning plant really wants to be variegated, which is great news for all of us!
When planting your Monstera Thai Constellation, remember that light, light, light is essential. Not direct sunlight, but light, free-draining soil. Avoid planting your plant in straight potting mix, as it?s too dense and invites root rot. Instead, use aroid mixes, which are the best bet. You can create your own by combining potting soil with perlite and a few chunky bits of bark or sphagnum moss for moisture retention.
Monstera Thai Constellation thrives in a lot of light, making it a bit more selective than the Monstera Deliciosa, which can handle fairly low light environments. The variegation on this plant results from a tissue mutation in its chlorophyll, which eradicates color and prevents those spots from absorbing sunlight. As a result, the green parts of its leaves need to work twice as hard to turn light into energy for the plant to grow and thrive. So make sure to place it near a window where it can receive a minimum of six to eight hours of bright indirect light each day to keep it happy and healthy. In lower light, the plant will grow considerably slower, and the leaves won?t reach their full, jaw-dropping impressive size. If your plant doesn?t receive enough sunlight, you can invest in some grow lights to help it along.
In summary, the Monstera Thai Constellation is a show-stopping plant that?s perfect for anyone looking to add some rare and exotic beauty to their indoor space. While it does require a bit of extra attention when it comes to watering, lighting, and humidity, these simple care tips can easily be mastered by even the most novice plant parent. So why not add a little cosmic magic to your home with the Monstera Thai Constellation? With our monthly specials, there?s no better time to grab one while they last.
