Monstera Blizzard
Monstera deliciosa 'Blizzard'

1 Gallon pot with 4 separate growth points

A variegated cultivar of Monstera deliciosa — native to the tropical rainforests of Central America — distinguished by a finely speckled, snow-like variegation of cream and white flecking densely scattered across the deep green leaf surface. A vigorous, climbing hemiepiphyte that develops the characteristic fenestrations and splits of the species as it matures on a support, producing larger and more deeply cut leaves with vertical growth.

• Light: Bright indirect light is essential for maintaining the variegation and supporting growth; the white sectors contain no chlorophyll, so good light is critical. Avoid direct harsh sun which scorches the pale tissue.

• Soil: Chunky, well-draining aroid mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir; excellent drainage essential. Never waterlogged.

• Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-85°F; humidity of 60%+ supports the best growth and cleanest leaf emergence. Avoid cold below 50°F.

• Watering: Allow the top 1-2" of medium to dry between waterings; water thoroughly and drain completely. Never waterlog — variegated forms are particularly sensitive to root stress.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during active growth; consistent feeding supports vigor across the reduced-chlorophyll sectors. Reduce in winter.
