Monstera Karstenianum Variegated
Karstenianum Variegated – A very rare but fast growing Monstera with spectacularly puckered, iridescent leaves. The stunning bi-colored leaves begin green while the brilliant yellow variegation appears after a week or so. Leaves are also unusually rigid and generally spaced at 2” intervals when totem grown. These are very healthy, climbing tropical plants with well established root systems.
Imagine the lush, tropical appeal of Monstera plants transforming your indoor or outdoor space. These easy-to-grow beauties flourish in moist soils rich in organic matter, and their love for climbing makes them perfect for mossy posts or burlap wrapped poles. Picture them thriving in pots, hanging baskets or outdoors as a ground cover or an enchanting tree wrap. With their ability to adapt to lower light conditions and temperatures between 65°- 90°F, Monsteras are more flexible than most house plants. In warmer climates introduce Monstera to your outdoor space and watch as they transform into stunning climbers with huge tropical fenestrated (split) leaves often reaching two feet in diameter.
Unleash their full potential by letting them grow in the ground or up an arbor, they'll surprise you with their size and transformation from their potted juvenile state. They will add a luxurious, tropical touch, whether you place them in a well-lit space or let them cascade from your favorite hanging planter. Fret not about colder climates, as these versatile plants can be easily moved indoors during winter. For a fuller, lush plant, try pinching off the new growth tip once your plant reaches 2 or 3 feet. You'll be rewarded with new growth buds at multiple nodes within weeks. Don't just grow a plant, create a tropical paradise with Monstera.

Our plants are grown in conditions akin to a natural, humid rainforest, using minimal pesticides. Occasional leaf drop, spotting, or browning, especially in varieties with significant white, are normal. In our nursery, plants thrive under 40-80% shade cloth. If grown outdoors, direct exposure to full sun may cause leaf burn. We suggest gradually introducing the plants to sunny areas over a week or so to reduce stress for optimal results. Despite our high standards in plant propagation, we can't assure future variegation patterns, coloration, survival or growth rate. Individual plants may vary, even though our mother plants have thrived for over 20 years. We guarantee all variegation is natural without any Chemically Induced Variegation (NO C.I.V.)
