How to care for Thai Constellation Monstera

Light. Grows in partial shade. Variegated monsteras need more light than green ones, so give bright, filtered light rather than deep shade.

Water. Water thoroughly, then let the top quarter to third of the soil dry before watering again.

Soil and feeding. Like other monsteras, it wants loamy soil rich in organic matter that drains well. In containers use a quality potting soil.

Size. Usually 6–15 ft as it climbs. Give it a tree or sturdy support so the heavy stems do not break.

Pruning. Prune in spring if it outgrows its space.

Problems to watch. Monsteras have few problems. Fern scale can show up on leaves; treat with Neem Oil following the label.

Good to know. It grows outdoors only in frost-free areas. Leaves and sap contain calcium oxalate crystals that burn the mouth and irritate skin, and the plant is harmful to cats and dogs. Eat any fruit only when fully ripe.
