Monstera borsigiana 'Aurea' Variegated
Golden Touch: Where Every Leaf Tells a Unique Story
Due to the golden variegated leaves, the Monstera deliciosa borsigiana 'Aurea' Variegated is also known as the Golden Variegated Monstera. Compared to the Monstera deliciosa borsigiana 'Albo' variegated, 'Aureas' are known for their slightly slower growth rate and more delicate nature. This variety requires a higher level of care compared to the more common 'Albo' because its leaves are very prone to browning. They also require higher light to bring out the golden colouring on the leaves. When a new leaf unfurls, the initial variegation on the new leaves is a lighter green colour that gradually matures to a rich yellow or gold hue over approximately five to six weeks.

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Monsteras thrive in filtered light, but variegated varieties require brighter indirect light conditions to maintain their variegation. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves, especially the lighter variegated areas.
Water: Allow the top few cm of medium to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring the pot drains well. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18–26°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and extreme heat, as both can stress the plant and affect its growth.
Humidity: Thrives in humidity levels above 60%. Higher humidity is especially beneficial for variegated Monsteras to encourage lush, vibrant growth and larger leaves.
Medium: Use a chunky aroid mix with excellent drainage. Incorporate materials like orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss. See our Ultimate Premium Aroid Mix Recipe for detailed instructions.
Fertiliser: Feed regularly during spring and summer with Growth Technology Foliage Focus. Reduce feeding frequency during the cooler months.
