Key Specifications

Plant Type:** *Monstera deliciosa* var. *borsigiana* (Yellow Variegated/Aurea)

Foliage:** Fenestrated (split) leaves with yellow variegation

Growth Habit:** Climbing vine

Soil Preference:** Chunky, well-draining aroid mix (orchid bark, perlite, potting soil)

How to Use & Care

Lighting:** Place in bright, indirect light. This is crucial for maintaining the vibrant yellow variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, as the lighter parts of the leaves lack chlorophyll and can scorch easily.

Watering:** Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the roots.

Support:** To encourage larger leaves and dramatic fenestrations, attach the vine to a sturdy moss pole or trellis. This mimics its natural habit of climbing trees in the rainforest.

Humidity:** Thrives in humidity levels above 60%. Use a humidifier or pebble tray to keep the foliage lush and prevent crispy edges.

Care & Safety

Toxicity Warning:** This plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Please keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

Delicate Foliage:** The yellow variegated sections are more sensitive than the green parts. Handle with care during unpacking and repotting to avoid bruising.

Acclimation:** Live plants may experience minor stress or cosmetic changes during transit. Upon arrival, place the plant in a warm, stable environment and allow it to recover from shipping stress before making any major changes to its soil or pot.
