Monstera Albo Borsigiana is a variegated form of Monstera deliciosa borsigiana, a naturally occurring variant of the popular Monstera species. It is distinguished by striking white or cream variegation across its leaves, which appear as marbled patterns, splashes, or large sectors. The plant has a climbing growth habit and produces fenestrated (split) leaves as it matures. Compared to the standard deliciosa, the borsigiana form tends to have a faster growth rate, smaller internodes, and a more compact overall structure, making it easier to manage indoors. Its rarity and dramatic variegation make it highly sought after among collectors.
