The Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’ is a striking and rare variegated form of the classic Monstera, known for its creamy-white marbling that appears on its deep green leaves. Caring for it requires some attention to detail, but with the right environment, it can thrive and develop into a stunning plant.

Here’s a guide to help you keep your Thai Constellation happy:

Light:

Bright, indirect light is essential for maintaining the vibrant variegation. Too little light can cause the plant to lose its marbling, and too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Ideally, place it near a bright window with filtered light.

Watering:

Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering or letting the plant sit in water can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage. In the winter, reduce watering slightly as the plant’s growth slows down.

Always check the moisture level before watering to avoid underwatering or overwatering.

Soil:

A well-draining, lightweight potting mix is crucial. A mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal for good drainage and aeration. You can also add some charcoal for extra drainage.

Humidity:

Monstera Thai Constellation prefers high humidity levels (60% or more). If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a humidity tray to raise the moisture levels around it. This will encourage healthy leaf growth and help prevent brown edges on the leaves.

Temperature:

Keep the plant in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid placing it in areas with temperature fluctuations, like near drafts, air conditioners, or heaters.

Fertilizing:

Feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing. Too much fertilizer can burn the roots, so always dilute the fertilizer to half strength.

Pruning:

Prune any damaged or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s aesthetic. You can also
