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 Peru Variegata is a rare, slow-growing vine with spectacular marbled foliage. This plant combines the tough look of Monstera karstenianum with the unique play of colors of variegation - a combination that is particularly popular among collectors. Its compact growth habit and striking leaf texture make this a true showpiece for the enthusiast of unusual foliage plants.

Origin

The botanical basis of this plant is in Central and South America, where the original Monstera karstenianum grows in the rainforest, often as a climbing plant against trees. The variegata-form, however, is not found in the wild, but created by spontaneous mutation or selective breeding.

Characteristics

The Monstera Peru is known for its thick, leathery leaves with a deeply veined pattern and dark green color. In the variegata-variant, these leaves become partly white, cream or light green, often with whimsical patterns or sectoral areas. No two leaves are the same - some leaves are almost completely variegated, others show a subtle marble motif. The slow growth and unpredictability of the variegated patterns make each plant unique as well as rare.

Care

Light

Place the Monstera Peru Variegata in a place with plenty of bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight on the variegated parts, as they are more susceptible to burning. Too little light can reduce variegation.

Temperature

Feels best at temperatures between 18 and 27 °C. Protect from drafts and rapid temperature changes in winter.

Substrate

Use an airy, well-drained substrate based on fine bark, coconut chips and sphagnum. Roots like oxygen and slightly moist conditions.

Humidity

A humidity of at least 60% is recommended. In drier air, the plant may benefit from a humidifier or a place in a display case.

Nutrition

During the growing season (spring to early fall), use a balanced fertilizer for foliage plants, but at half the recommended dosage. Avoid over-fertilizing on variegated plants.

Watering

Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly before watering again. Preferably use demineralized water. Too wet roots can lead to rot, especially in combination with cold.

Flowering

The Monstera Peru rarely blooms in room conditions. Its ornamental value is entirely in its unusual foliage.
