Monstera acuminata Mint

Every recorded sold listing for this break so far has come from a single seller offering rooted and unrooted cuttings under the same 'Full Mint, Highly Variegated' description, a real, distinct colour form, but with less independent price corroboration than this species' Albo or plain Variegated breaks. Monstera acuminata Mint shares the same underlying form and growth habit as Monstera acuminata (elongated with acuminate tip leaves on hemi-epiphytic climber growth) with pale mint-green marbled variegation across the narrow, acuminate-tipped leaf.
