What is it?
You’re probably most familiar with fiddle leaf figs, which have become popular decorating staples in recent years. But there’s another species of Monstera worth considering—the albo variegata. It might look like a completely different plant (and, it kind of is), but it has a similar texture and appearance to its more common counterpart. It only has five leaves, as opposed to nine for most other Monstera. But that doesn’t make it any less attractive or interesting. In fact, we think you should consider adding one to your home or office. Read on for more information about how to grow a Monstera albo variegata! The easiest way to grow a Monstera Variegated 5 leaves is to start with an established plant. We recommend purchasing from an online retailer that specializes in rare plants, such as Epiphytes & More. You can also try asking around at local nurseries; they may be able to direct you toward someone who sells them. If you can’t find anyone locally, try calling up some specialty nurseries or botanical gardens in your area; they may be able to point you toward local sources.
How to care for it?
Although Monster as are easy to care for, you still need to make sure you take care of it properly. Unlike many plants that don’t require any direct sunlight, Monster as can’t handle too much light. Keep it in a spot where there is plenty of indirect sunlight and it will thrive. When it comes to watering, be careful not to overdo it. If you water your plant once every two weeks, that should be more than enough. It’s also important not to over water or underwater your plant as both can cause problems with its growth and health. You should also keep an eye out for pests like spider mites or aphids which could damage your plant if left unchecked. Fortunately, they’re easy to get rid of using a spray bottle filled with water. Just apply some insecticidal soap when you notice them on your leaves. Finally, you should also repot your plant about once every year (or when necessary). Just remember that Monsteras prefer slightly acidic soil so make sure yours has a pH between 5 and 6 before planting it into new soil.
