Variant

Monstera Yellow Marilyn, aka Monstera deliciosa 'Yellow Marilyn', is a rare variegated form of the classic Monstera deliciosa, cherished by collectors for its unique and vibrant yellow or lime-green variegation. Unlike the commonly known Monstera 'Albo' with white variegation, or the Monstera 'Aurea', which presents with golden hues, 'Yellow Marilyn' features striking variegation that transitions from yellow to a soft cream or white-yellow as the leaves mature. This variegation appears as patches, streaks, or marbled patterns that enhance the aesthetic appeal of its iconic split and perforated leaves. This variety was first propagated by Mr. Kunzo in Japan, who noted its distinct 'Polaroid variegation', where the leaf colours develop and intensify over time, much like a photograph developing.

Care Guide

How to take care of Monstera Yellow Marilyn

Sun: Indirect

Monstera Yellow Marilyn should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best 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.

Light: Bright

Monstera Yellow Marilyn will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Monstera Yellow Marilyn needs 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.

Humidity: Medium

Monstera Yellow Marilyn 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.

Pet Caution

Monstera Yellow Marilyn 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.

About Monstera Yellow Marilyn

Botanical Name: Monstera deliciosa 'Yellow Marilyn'

Common Name: Monstera Yellow Marilyn

Origin: Japan

Plant Story

Introducing the Monstera Yellow Marilyn, a rare and visually stunning variegated version of the beloved Monstera deliciosa. This extraordinary plant not only elevates the aesthetics of any space but also symbolizes the beauty of transformation and the unique journey of growth.

The Monstera Yellow Marilyn is known for its unique "Polaroid variegation," where each leaf displays a captivating transition from deep green to vivid yellow, and finally to a soft cream or pale yellow as it matures. This gradual change in leaf colour is a breathtaking display of nature's artistry, making each leaf a dynamic canvas of evolving beauty.

To care for your Monstera Yellow Marilyn, provide it with bright, indirect light. The bright light will help enhance the vibrancy of the yellow variegation while protecting the plant from the harsh direct sun that could scorch its delicate leaves. This need for gentle yet sufficient light mirrors our own needs for environments that challenge yet support our growth.

Watering should be done thoughtfully; allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in variegated plants which can be more sensitive. This teaches us the importance of balance and listening to the needs of those we nurture, including ourselves.

The Monstera Yellow Marilyn, like its classic counterpart, may produce large, fenestrated leaves as it matures, especially when provided with a structure to climb. The fenestrations and unique leaf patterns serve as a metaphor for life's openings and opportunities, reminding us to embrace growth and change.

As this plant matures, its striking variegation and majestic presence make it not just a focal point in home decor but also a living symbol of uniqueness and the ever-changing beauty of life’s journey.

Welcome the Monstera Yellow Marilyn into your home, and let it be a daily inspiration of the joy found in growth, the beauty of individuality, and the spectacular transformation that comes with time. It’s not just a plant; it’s a celebration of life's colourful and transformative path.
