The Monstera 'Thai Constellation' is a highly sought-after variety of Monstera deliciosa, renowned for its unique and spectacular variegated foliage. Its large, heart-shaped leaves are adorned with random creamy white patterns, reminiscent of a starry sky, hence its evocative name. This tropical plant will bring a touch of exoticism and elegance to your home.
Main Features
- Flowering: Indoors, flowering is rare. If it occurs, it produces a white, spathe-shaped flower, followed by an edible fruit when ripe.
- Foliage: The leaves of young plants will not be perforated. Perforations appear over time. The leaves are large, leathery, dark green, and deeply lobed. Their main characteristic is the creamy white variegation, which varies in intensity and distribution from one leaf to another, making each plant unique.
- Habit: The Monstera 'Thai Constellation' has a climbing habit. Its long stems naturally cling thanks to its aerial roots. It likes to cling to a trellis or any other support and can reach up to 3 m in height. The use of a moss pole allows the plant to seek all the light it needs and produce larger leaves.
- Growth: Growth is moderate to slow, especially compared to the classic Monstera deliciosa. It can reach an imposing size over time, up to 2-3 meters indoors if it is staked.
- Maintenance: This plant is relatively easy to care for but requires special attention to preserve its beautiful variegation. You can remove the roots that do not serve as support.
Growing Information
- Light: It prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves and reduce variegation.
- Soil Type: A well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter is ideal.
- Watering: Water when the top of the soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.
- Fertilization: Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted balanced fertilizer.
- Temperature and Humidity: The Monstera 'Thai Constellation' enjoys warm temperatures and high humidity. Maintain high ambient humidity so that the stems attach themselves to the moss pole; otherwise, you will need to use ties. Mist the foliage regularly to increase ambient humidity.
- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in the spring, in a slightly larger pot, to encourage growth.
