Monstera deliciosa 'variegata' - Variegated Split-leaf-Philodendron

Just brilliant ... I've never seen this before.

how unusual

Bernieh:

It's more of a curiosity...however, sometimes available for sale at the nurseries. It needs shade or the white sections will burn severely.

Yorkshire:

It is a little unusual.

Now that is a new one on me, does the variegation occur in it's native habitat?

Junglejen:

I would think so...however, not certain. This plant sometimes reverts back to green though.

Very unusual ..:o)))

Have it. lol. Well,the mottled cultivar..that on occasion does have half white leafs. Even the stems are marble swirl.

Does it grow well outdoors?

So far. I bought it in early summer at the Dry Garden. 4 new leaves since then..that's rocket fast for Monstera in the bay area. Its still in a pot. Under King palms and the back porch overhang...but gets filtered sun from noon or so. I do have the green in the ground for ..many years. Spreads wide and is climbing over a 6' fence. Not much fruit- too much shade. They fruited better in more sun years ago.

40$..I couldn't pass it up.

Good luck with the variegated form. I know they tend to be a little more tender.

My Monstera deliciosa has some flower on it, right now. It didn't bloom for a long time because it's in too much shade, also. Unfortunately, I can never get to the fruit before the ants get to them.
