Monstera deliciosa 'Electro Light'

Electro Light is named for its near-uniform, vividly bright chartreuse tone, an aurea-type variegation that reads as an almost glowing lime-yellow across most of the blade rather than the marbled two-tone sectors typical of most gold forms. Growth habit and general care needs match standard deliciosa, though the reduced chlorophyll across the pale sectors means slower growth and a stronger need for bright indirect light.
