• Support: Give the Monstera a moss pole or other support to climb on.
• Repotting: Repot the Monstera every two to three years, or when the roots grow out of the pot.

• Air purifying: The Monstera filters harmful substances from the air and contributes to a healthier indoor climate.

Monstera Varieties: A Green Diversity

The Monstera family is surprisingly diverse. Some popular species include:

• Monstera Deliciosa : The "normal" Monstera, with large, green leaves full of holes.
• Monstera Deliciosa Variegata : A rare and sought after variety with white spots on the leaves.
• Monstera Deliciosa Thai Constellation: A cultivar with cream-colored spots, reminiscent of stars.
• Monstera Adansonii: Also known as the “Monkey Mask”, with smaller leaves and holes that look more like windows.
• Monstera Minima : A compact variety with smaller, delicate leaves.
• Monstera Obliqua: A rare species with very large holes in the leaves.

 

Monstera Deliciosa: The Classic Choice

The Monstera Deliciosa is the most common species and a real classic. This plant can grow quite large and has impressive leaves with deep incisions.

 

Monstera Deliciosa Variegata: A Rare Beauty

The Monstera Deliciosa Variegata is a special variant with white spots on the leaves. This variegation is caused by a lack of chlorophyll in some parts of the leaf. The Monstera Deliciosa Variegata is rarer and therefore often more expensive than the green variant.

 

Monstera Deliciosa Thai Constellation: A Starry Sky in Your Home

The Monstera Deliciosa Thai Constellation is a cultivar with cream-colored spots on the leaves, which look like stars. This variegation is more stable than that of the Variegata, which makes the plant easier to care for.

 

Monstera Minima: Small but Nice

The Monstera Minima, also known as Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma, is a compact variety with smaller, delicate leaves. This plant is ideal for smaller spaces or as a hanging plant.
