What we ❤️ about this plant:
🌿 Beautiful fenestrated leaves marbled with fresh mint-green variegation
✨ Each leaf develops its own unique blend of green, pale green and creamy mint tones
🪴 More unusual than the classic Monstera adansonii and perfect for aroid collections
☀️ Thrives in bright, indirect light to support healthy growth and attractive variegation
📈 Naturally climbing or trailing and develops larger leaves when given a moss pole
🪴 Supplied as a healthy plant in a 12cm pot
Add something genuinely distinctive to your collection with Monstera adansonii ‘Mint’, a beautifully variegated form of the much-loved Swiss Cheese Vine. Its characteristic perforated leaves are patterned with varying shades of green, pale green and minty cream, giving every new leaf its own individual appearance.
Unlike the regular green Monstera adansonii, ‘Mint’ produces softer, marbled variegation that can range from subtle pale-green mottling to much more pronounced areas of mint colouring. As with all naturally variegated plants, the precise pattern varies from leaf to leaf and between individual plants.
Monstera adansonii ‘Mint’ is naturally a climbing aroid. It can be allowed to trail beautifully from a shelf or planter, but providing a moss pole or similar support encourages its natural climbing habit and can help the plant develop increasingly large and impressive fenestrated leaves.
Bright, indirect light is particularly important for maintaining healthy variegated growth. Combine this with a free-draining aroid mix, warmth and sensible watering, and ‘Mint’ makes a spectacular yet manageable addition to an indoor tropical plant collection.
How to Care for Monstera adansonii ‘Mint’
• Position in plenty of bright, indirect light to support healthy growth and attractive variegation.
• Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the paler sections of the foliage.
• Water when the upper few centimetres of compost begin to dry, allowing excess water to drain thoroughly.
• Use a loose, chunky and free-draining aroid mix to provide good aeration around the roots.
• Allow the plant to trail or provide a moss pole or climbing support to encourage larger, more mature foliage.
• Feed approximately once a month during spring and summer with a diluted balanced houseplant fertiliser.
