Botanical Name: Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation'

Common Name(s): Thai Constellation Monstera

The Monstera Thai Constellation is a stunning, variegated variety of the popular Monstera deliciosa, renowned for its striking white and cream marbling across its large, glossy green leaves. Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, this plant’s unique variegation makes it a prized collector’s item. It grows as a climbing vine, producing fenestrated (split) leaves as it matures, and can reach several feet in height when supported by a trellis or moss pole.

The Monstera Thai Constellation, like other varieties of Monstera, has air-purifying qualities. It is known to help improve indoor air quality by filtering out common toxins, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene. The large, glossy leaves of the Thai Constellation help absorb carbon dioxide and release fresh oxygen, contributing to a healthier environment.

The Thai Constellation thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. Like all Monsteras, it prefers well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist but not soggy. While it’s important to water it when the top inch of soil feels dry, be mindful not to overwater to avoid root rot. This plant also enjoys high humidity, so regular misting or placing it near a humidifier can help it thrive.

Note: Monstera Thai Constellation is mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing irritation and discomfort. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and small children to ensure safety.
