Albo Variegated Monstera
Monstera deliciosa 'Albo Borsigiana'
Monstera deliciosa 'Albo Borsigiana' is a highly coveted collector's plant. It features large, fenestrated leaves splashed with brilliant white variegation. Because the white areas contain no chlorophyll, this plant grows slower and requires more care than the all-green species to prevent the white patches from browning.
Native Origin & Climate
Tropical rainforests of southern Mexico and Central America.
Expert Pruning Tip
Prune away brown leaf edges or solid green leaves to maintain stable white variegation balance.
