Variegated Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' - 1.3L / 14cm / Small
$60.00These Thai Constellation beauties are a stable variegated monstera cultivar giving a speckled starry night effect with cloudy patches of solid cream variegation. Easy to care for, Thai Constellation monstera deliciosa is a show stopper in every room they inhabit with relatively little effort required on your part. The vigorous but compact growth for Thai Constellation actually keeps these climbers tidy looking tidier for longer compared to their natural wild Monstera deliciosa form.
Ideal for Intermediate plant keepers or beyond.
Light Requirements: Bright Indirect Light is essential to maintain the white variegation on the leaves but white sections are easily scorched by the harsh sun.
Moisture & Soil Requirements: Prefers evenly moist soil with good drainage in warm seasons - never soggy soil. Water when the first few centimetres of soil are dry. Prefers to be kept a little drier through winter.
Growth & Nutrients: Grows up trees in the wild by growing in vine-like growth with aerial roots. Ideally, grow your Monstera up a support pole to mimic a tree. Grows large but the growth tip segment can be cut and re-potted to suit your available space. Suits medium-large apartments or homes. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser for containers from the start of spring each year to autumn when growth slows down and allow your plant to rest over winter.
Temperature, Humidity & Ambient requirements: Prefers warm, humid environments inside but can deal with most home environments.
Toxicity: Moderately toxic. Don't let anyone or anything eat it.
Plant Size Guide
The plant in the photos is an example and an approximate guide only however we try to show an average sized example. Sizes, flowering state and colours change throughout the seasons and variation will occur. In summer & autumn, plants are often larger or the same size as than the example picture but around winter and spring, they can be a little smaller but still at a size similar to the example. We aim to update the pictures to reflect significant differences.

Plants in Transit
Each Small, Medium & Large plant is individually contained within its own protective cardboard Plant Carton which may be joined to other cartons in your order.
Plants typically take just a day or two to arrive, however they are usually fine in their cartons for 1-2 weeks, and many can go longer, so a few extra days are not usually cause for concern.
Whether it takes 1 or 7 days, let your plant recover from its journey by placing in gentle light and adding a little water and it will be back to its best within a couple of days. Let us know if there are any major issues via the contact page.
