Decorative pot not included. Hand-delivery calculated at checkout.

The extremely hard to come by variegated monstera, which can only be grown by a few expert growers through patience and perseverance. The variegation is actually a misfire in the plants DNA, so this uncommon occurrence is tricky to reproduce in the glasshouse. 

Part of The Sunday Times 'The five best indoor house plants to buy now'.

Best space & place
The variegation (less green chlorophyll) means the leaves take in less light, so the plant needs to be placed in a brighter spot to take in the amount it needs. Direct sun however will be too harsh for this plant. 

Watering & feeding
Water when the soil has slightly dried out. Do not leave sitting in water. 

Need to know
The leaves will brown and crease naturally where the holes are being formed (the swiss cheese effect). It is more visible on these plants that the green version, but not something to be concerned with.
