Variegated Monstera standleyana - 1L / 14cm / Small
$25.00Monstera standleyana is a creeping vine with speckles and splotches of white variegation. These are best as climbers with a support because Monstera standleyana put out nicer, bigger leaves when they're facing up, but can trail neatly from above also.
Light Requirements: Medium light is ideal but thrives in bright indirect light.
Moisture & Soil Requirements: Prefers evenly moist soil with good drainage in warm seasons - never soggy soil. Reduce watering in cooler weather or darker positions.
Growth & Nutrients: Upright vine-type growth with aerial roots that seek out support. Grows up trees in wild, simulate this with a fern pole or similar. Suits apartments or homes of any size. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser for containers from the start of spring each year to autumn when growth slows down.
Temperature, Humidity & Ambient requirements: Prefers warm, humid environments inside but adaptable to many conditions.
Toxicity: Toxic to pets and people. Don't chomp down on this ever.
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.
