Before you buy
- Verify variegation extends into the newest leaf. A fully green newest leaf on an 'albo' or 'mint' monstera is a sign of reversion
- Check that at least one healthy node is present below the most recent leaf; this is what produces all future growth
- Inspect petioles closely for scale insects (small brown bumps) which are common on monsteras
- Compare the variegation level shown to recently sold comps, since heavily variegated sections command a significant premium and sellers sometimes photograph the most variegated area rather than the whole plant
Monstera standleyana 'Aurea Variegated' care
- Substrate
- Chunky, well-draining mix: 40% potting compost, 30% perlite, 20% orchid bark, 10% worm castings. Monsteras are more tolerant of moisture than most aroids but still need drainage.
- Watering
- Water when the top 3–5 cm is dry. These are forgiving plants but still susceptible to root rot if kept too wet. Water less in winter.
- Humidity
- 50–70% preferred. More tolerant of typical UK indoor humidity than other aroids, though 60%+ encourages larger leaf development.
- Feeding
- Balanced fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks from spring through summer. Monthly in winter or none at all.
- Repotting
- Every 12–18 months when roots emerge from drainage holes. Provide a moss pole or support, which encourages larger leaf production.
Common problems
No fenestrations (splits/holes)
Cause: Plant is juvenile, or insufficient light
Fix: Ensure bright indirect light and allow the plant to mature; fenestrations develop with age and better conditions
Yellow leaves
Cause: Overwatering or nutrient deficiency
Fix: Check soil moisture before watering; begin a regular fertilising routine in growing season
Brown patches on leaves
Cause: Sunburn or cold water on leaves
Fix: Avoid direct sun; water at the base and ensure water is room temperature
