FAQs

How often should I water my Monstera Adansonii Albo?

The Monstera Adansonii Albo prefers slightly moist but not wet soil. Water thoroughly once the top inch or two of soil has dried out. Take care not to overwater as that can lead to root rot.

Why are some of the leaves on my plant not variegated?

Lack of variegation is fairly common and stems from the inherent genetic instability of variegated monsteras. Try providing optimal growing conditions and pruning non-variegated stems to encourage more white coloration.

What type of lighting does this plant need?

The Monstera Adansonii Albo needs bright, indirect light. Some morning sun from an east facing window is often ideal. Low light typically results in smaller leaves with less fenestrations.

Is this plant toxic to pets?

Yes, all Monstera plants contain insoluble calcium oxalates that can irritate skin and tissues. It's important to keep this plant out of reach of pets who may try to ingest the leaves.
