Origin & Background

‘Mint’ is a highly sought-after  variegated large form of Monstera deliciosa. Its foliage is marked by subtle, marbled gradients of pale minty green and cream. Light

Provide bright gentle light for best results. A spot near an east- or south-facing window with filtered sun is ideal. Avoid direct, hot afternoon rays, which can scorch the delicate variegated tissue.

Water

Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water thoroughly when the top 2–3 inches of soil feel dry. Variegated sections of the leaf contain less chlorophyll, so the plant is more sensitive to stress from inconsistent watering.

Humidity

Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%). In San Francisco and other coastal areas, ambient humidity is usually adequate. In drier climates, supplement with a humidifier if edges begin to brown.

Temperature

Thrives between 65–80°F. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops.

Soil

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix: orchid bark, perlite, and high-quality potting soil. This ensures aeration around the roots while holding enough moisture.

Fertilizer

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Because growth is slower in variegated forms, fertilize lightly to avoid nutrient burn.

Growth Habit

Like all Monsteras, it’s a climbing plant. Provide a moss pole or sturdy support to encourage large, fenestrated leaves. Growth will be slower than standard deliciosa, but rewardingly striking.

Repotting

Repot every 2–3 years, or when roots begin circling the pot. Avoid frequent disturbance; variegated Monsteras can be sensitive to stress.

Pet Safety

Not pet safe — toxic to cats and dogs if ingested (per ASPCA).
