  •   Monstera 'Mint', also called Mint Variegated Monstera, is a rare variegated aroid in the Araceae family, originating from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. It is a cultivar of Monstera deliciosa, selected for its irregular mint-green and cream variegation across each leaf.

      The leaves are large and fenestrated, with the natural splits and holes characteristic of Monstera deliciosa, overlaid with patches of mint green, cream, and deeper forest green. Each leaf carries a different pattern, so no two are identical. 'Mint' grows as a climbing plant, sending out aerial roots that anchor to supports as it moves upward.

      As a rare collector plant, 'Mint' is grown primarily for its foliage rather than its flowers. Indoors, it rarely blooms, and flower details are not reliably documented for this cultivar. It does, however, naturally humidify the air around it as part of its normal transpiration process.

      'Mint' benefits from rotating a quarter turn every week or two so all sides receive even light exposure. Move it outside in summer to a shaded spot, and cover it from rain to avoid waterlogging the soil. It is sensitive to direct airflow from air conditioners and heaters, so keep it away from vents. Cats, dogs, and small children should not have access to it since the sap causes skin and paw irritation, and the plant should not be eaten. A high shelf keeps it out of reach of both pets and toddlers. This is a genuinely rare tropical houseplant, and collectors often seek it out specifically for its unpredictable mint-green variegation.

  •   Monstera 'Mint' grows well in bright indirect light, away from direct sun that scorches its leaves.

      It needs watering every 10 to 14 days, letting the top two inches of soil dry between sessions.

      'Mint' does best in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix of perlite, orchid bark, and potting soil.

      It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F and suffers below 55°F.

      'Mint' is a moderate to slow grower; feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10 to 12, where temperatures rarely drop below 35°F to 40°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Hawaii, southern Florida, and coastal Southern California. It can spend summers outside in Texas, Georgia, and other warm states before coming back indoors before temperatures fall.
  • Q: How much light does Monstera 'Mint' need?
    A: A north or east-facing window works well, or set it a few feet back from a south or west window. Leaf edges turn brown and papery when it gets too much direct sun.

    Q: How do I know when to water it?
    A: Monstera 'Mint' wilts slightly when the soil has been dry too long, which is a reliable visual cue. Check the top two inches of soil with your finger before watering.

    Q: Can 'Mint' grow under office lighting?
    A: It can manage under bright LED office lighting, though growth will be slower and variegation may be less defined than in natural indirect light.

    Q: How do I keep humidity high enough for it?
    A: 'Mint' does well near a kitchen or bathroom where ambient moisture is higher. A pebble tray with water or a nearby humidifier also helps maintain the humidity it needs.

    Q: Is Mint Variegated Monstera safe around pets?
    A: Cats and dogs should not be left to nibble or eat it. The sap also causes skin and paw irritation on contact, so keep it well out of reach.

    Q: How fast does it grow?
    A: Mint Variegated Monstera grows at a moderate to slow pace, especially compared to non-variegated Monstera deliciosa. The reduced chlorophyll in variegated sections means the plant produces energy more slowly, which affects overall growth speed.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
