Monstera Standleyana Variegata 17cm

🐍 Monstera standleyana ‘Variegata’

Cream-splashed leaves. Upright vines. Cobra-like elegance.

Also known as Cobra Monstera, this rare climber features elongated, glossy leaves streaked with white, cream, and pale yellow. Unlike fenestrated Monsteras, its foliage stays whole—giving it a sleek, modern silhouette. Perfect for moss poles, trellises, or trailing from sculptural ceramic planters.

🌿 Care Essentials

| 🌞 Light | Bright, indirect light. Variegation fades in low light; direct sun may scorch. | | 💧 Water | Water when top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. Keep lightly moist, never soggy. | | 💨 Humidity | 60–80%. Loves tropical vibes—mist, tray, or humidifier. | | 🌡️ Temperature | 18–29°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden drops. | | 🪴 Soil | Chunky aroid mix: coco coir + orchid bark + perlite. Slightly acidic (pH 5.5–6.5). | | 🍽️ Feeding | Balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks, spring to autumn. Skip winter.

⚠️ Collector Tips

• 🧬 Unstable variegation—may revert if light is too low.

• 🧗 Climbs with aerial roots—train on a pole for vertical drama.

• 🌱 Propagate via stem cuttings with at least one node and variegated leaf.

• 🐾 Toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and tiny humans.

• 🧼 Wipe leaves gently to keep marbling crisp and dust-free.
