Monstera Albo Variegated - Large White Sector - Potted

A young plant with one bold leaf, split almost down the middle.

Along one side of the midrib the leaf is cream from base to tip, a clean sector that takes up close to half the blade. The other side is deep green, streaked and freckled with white. It is a single leaf on a long petiole, so this is a plant to grow on and watch develop rather than one that is already full.

This is the exact plant you will receive. Its number, MO-003-002, is printed on the label in the pot, and you can see it in the photos. It has been grown on here in our London studio.

A note on the white sections

The pale parts of a variegated leaf contain no chlorophyll. That tissue is thinner and more fragile than the green, holds water less well, and marks where green would not. On a leaf carrying this much white, a small brown edge or fleck in a cream patch is normal rather than a fault.

It can also appear in transit. A few days in a box or a change in humidity, and the white areas are the first to show it. This is cosmetic. A patch that has browned usually stays as it is, does not change how the plant grows, and new leaves come in fresh.

I pack every plant carefully and only send ones I would be happy to receive myself, but I would rather you knew this before buying.
