In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

The Monstera minima variegated 'Albo', also known as Rhaphidophora tetrasperma variegata, is a real eye-catcher with its compact growth and strikingly variegated leaves. This unusual climbing plant combines the beloved Monstera-like leaves with white or cream variegation, making each plant unique. Ideal for collectors who want to enhance their collection with a rare and refined specimen.

Origin

The Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and Malaysia. The variegated ‘Albo'-form, however, is a rare cultivation that does not occur in nature and is obtained only through selection and propagation.

Characteristics

This plant has elegantly incised leaves that are similar in shape to those of the Monstera deliciosa, but smaller and more compact. What makes this version exceptional is the unpredictable but brilliant marbling in white to creamy white on the normally dark green leaves. No two leaves are the same: some show fine spots, others are half white ("Half Moon"). Because of its climbing growth habit, it does well with a moss stick for support.

Care

Light

Place this plant in a bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can burn the light parts of the leaves, while too little light can reduce variegation.

Temperature

Feels best at room temperatures between 18 and 25 °C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15 °C.

Substrate

Use an airy and well-draining mixture, e.g. based on coconut chips, tree bark and sphagnum. An open structure prevents root rot and promotes healthy growth.

Humidity

A humidity of 60% or higher is ideal. In drier air, the plant may develop brown edges on the lighter parts of the leaves.

Nutrition

During the growing season (spring to fall), use a balanced fertilizer for houseplants once a month, but dose carefully: the white parts of the leaves contain less chlorophyll and may be susceptible to over-fertilization.

Watering

Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry out between waterings. Preferably give demineralized water or clean rainwater to avoid mineral buildup in the substrate and leaf damage.

Flowering

This plant rarely blooms indoors and is grown primarily for its ornamental leaves. Therefore, flowering is not a goal when keeping this species for most enthusiasts.
