Returns Simplified.Monstera deliciosa Mint Variegata, often referred to as the Mint Monstera, is one of the rarest and most sought-after variegated forms of the iconic Swiss Cheese Plant. Native to the tropical rainforests of Central America, Monstera deliciosa is known for its enormous split leaves and tropical elegance, but the mint variegated form elevates this species into a true collectors treasure.
The Mint Monstera displays unusual variegation: instead of clean white or yellow marbling, the leaves are splashed and speckled with soft mint-green tones, often in marbled or frosted patterns across the deep green leaf surface. This muted, pastel-like variegation gives the foliage a painterly, almost ethereal look, setting it apart from the more common Thai Constellation or Albo variegated Monsteras.
Mature plants develop the characteristic fenestrations (splits and holes) that make Monstera deliciosa so iconic. When combined with the minty marbling, the effect is highly ornamental, making each leaf a unique living artwork.
Requires bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation. Too little light can cause the mint variegation to fade, while harsh direct sun can scorch the pale areas.
Water when the top 35 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil lightly moist during the growing season but ensure good drainage. Reduce watering in autumn and winter. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.
Temperature: Prefers 1828C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15C.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (60%+). Occasional misting or use of a humidifier helps prevent browning edges on variegated sections.
Use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix peat-free compost enriched with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir is ideal. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the soil and provide space for growth.
Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 23 weeks during spring and summer. Cut back feeding in autumn and stop in winter.
Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain appearance. Train onto a moss pole or trellis to encourage upright growth and larger leaves with dramatic fenestrations.
A moderately fast-growing climber. With climbing support, mature leaves can reach 6090 cm wide, with intricate fenestrations and mint marbling.
Loss of variegation: Insufficient light.
Brown patches on pale areas: Direct sunlight or low humidity.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.
The Mint Monstera is one of the rarest variegated forms of Monstera deliciosa, treasured for its unusual pastel-green marbling. Its soft, frosted variegation offers a refreshing alternative to white or yellow variegated cultivars, making it a centrepiece plant for serious collectors. Like other Monsteras, it also contributes to improved indoor air quality.
