Monstera deliciosa 'Albo Borsigiana', commonly known as Monstera Albo, is a striking variegated cultivar of the Monstera deliciosa species. Originating from the rainforests of Central America, this large-leaved plant is characterized by its dramatic white and green marbled or spotted foliage. The unique variegation makes each leaf distinct, and the "Swiss cheese" cutouts add an extra touch of exotic flair. This indoor tropical plant is a real showstopper and a must-have for enthusiasts of variegated plants.

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Pro tips

Variegated plants can be more sensitive and susceptible to nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer is recommended during the growing season. Be cautious about placing the plant in too dark or too bright locations, as this can either cause loss of variegation or leaf burn.

Care Guide

How to take care of Monstera Albo

They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, as it is too intense for them. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is fine and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

They will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

They need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

They will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Introducing the Monstera Albo, a sensational variant of the classic Monstera deliciosa, whose striking variegated leaves illuminate your space while teaching us the value of celebrating individuality.

The Monstera Albo, or Monstera deliciosa 'Albo Borsigiana', dazzles with its large, green leaves streaked with gorgeous patches of creamy white. Each leaf is uniquely splashed with variegation, much like each of us carries our own distinct set of traits and qualities. This plant acts as a living testament to the beauty of diversity, reminding us that our individual differences make us special.

To see your Monstera Albo thrive, give it bright, indirect light. This will not only enhance its variegation but also encourage more robust growth. The plant mirrors back the attentiveness you show it, reminding you that the best versions of ourselves shine through when nurtured.

In terms of watering, allow the top half of soil to dry out between waterings. The Monstera Albo appreciates a balanced approach to care, embodying the principle that we, too, flourish most when not overwhelmed or neglected.

As your Monstera Albo climbs and sprawls, you can offer it a support structure, like a moss pole. This guidance will help the plant—and by extension, remind us—that achieving great heights sometimes requires a little help along the way.

Welcome the Monstera Albo into your home. It's not just a plant; it's a celebration of life's variances, reminding us to embrace and cherish our own unique characteristics.
