Monstera 'Mint' Plant with White-Speckled New Leaves That Deepen to Green as the Foliage Matures
The Monstera 'Mint' plant brings changing foliage to an indoor plant collection. New leaves emerge with white speckling over marbled mint green, then deepen to green as they harden off, giving you a leaf display that changes as growth develops.
Each plant has its own pattern, and the amount and intensity of variegation differ between leaves and plants. Keep this shade-grown Monstera out of full sun and provide higher humidity to support its best growth. For climbing growth, offer a moss pole or wood board and keep the support saturated so aerial roots can attach.
