Monstera Legacy Tissue Culture Plant in Agar Gel for Acclimation, a White and Cream Variegated Variety
This Monstera plant is supplied as a single Legacy tissue culture in agar gel, ready for you to begin acclimation. The Legacy variety is known for white and cream marbling across deep green leaves, making its contrasting foliage a distinctive addition to a plant collection.
Growing from tissue culture lets you care for the plant through its transition to ambient conditions. Allow 1–2 days for temperature adjustment before opening, then thoroughly rinse away the agar and transfer the plant to a suitable growing medium. A chunky coco husk and perlite blend is one recommended choice.
During acclimation, use a clear sealed container or plastic bag and provide grow lighting for 8–14 hours daily. Keep the plant covered for the first 7 days, then gradually increase exposure to ambient air over the next 7–10 days. Adjust the process to your growing environment.
After acclimation, provide bright indirect light for at least 6 hours daily and a warm location at 65–85°F, away from cold drafts and direct sunlight. Keep the growing medium slightly damp rather than soggy, and use a draining pot and airy mix.
