Monstera 'Mint' Ø9cm

Monstera 'Mint' - Mint Variegation on Spectacular Monstera Leaves Monstera 'Mint' is a rare variegated cultivar of the Monstera genus, with spectacularly fenestrated (lobed/holed) leaves colored in a combination of dark-green and bright mint-green. The 'Mint' variegation creates large zones of pale lime-green reminiscent of fresh mint leaf color, offering a warmer, softer palette than the white variegation of Monstera Albo. Like all mature Monsteras, 'Mint' develops fenestration (holes and cuts in the leaves) as the plant matures. New leaves appear simple, and older ones gradually develop the holes and lobes characteristic of Monstera, combined with mint pigmentation for a unique appearance. At the offered size - Ø9cm pot - the plant is young, with 2-4 formed leaves. The variegation is more stable than Monstera Albo (much less prone to reversion), making 'Mint' a rewarding, easy-to-love choice for anyone who dreams of a variegated Monstera.
