Monstera 'Thai Constellation' | Azucena Nursery

• Botanical Name: Monstera  Thai Constellation
  

• Common Names:  Thai Constellation
  

• Description: Monstera Thai Constellation is a rare but fast-growing plant from the Monstera Deliciosa family. This monstera has plenty of heavenly splatters and splotches of creamy or off-white against their green leaves. It almost looks like the night sky with stars.

• The Monstera Thai Constellation is a cultivar of the popular Monstera deliciosa, a tropical plant known for its distinctive split leaves. What sets the Thai Constellation apart is its variegation—white or cream-colored splotches and streaks on the leaves. This variegation gives the plant a unique and eye-catching appearance.

  Here are some key features and care tips for Monstera Thai Constellation:

  1. Variegation: The white or cream variegation on the leaves is a result of a genetic mutation. This variegation can vary from plant to plant, making each Thai Constellation unique.

  2. Light: Like other Monstera varieties, the Thai Constellation prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not grow as vigorously or produce as much variegation in lower light.

  3. Watering: Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out before watering. Monstera plants generally prefer a well-draining soil mix.

  4. Humidity: These plants thrive in high humidity, but they can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant.

  5. Temperature: Monstera Thai Constellation prefers warm temperatures. It does well in typical indoor temperatures but should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature drops.

  6. Support: As the plant grows, it may benefit from some support, such as a moss pole or trellis. This helps the plant climb and produces a more attractive appearance.

  7. Pruning: Pruning can help control the size and shape of the plant. You can trim away any yellow or damaged leaves, and pruning can also encourage bushier growth.

  8. Propagation: Monstera Thai Constellation can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with a few leaves and a portion of the stem, and root it in water or directly in soil.

  Remember that care requirements can vary slightly from one plant to another, so it's essential to observe your specific plant's needs. Also, be aware that Monstera Thai Constellation is a relatively rare and sought-after plant, which can affect its availability and price in the market
