Unveiling the Beauty of the Thai Constellation Monstera

The Thai Constellation Monstera is a plant enthusiast's dream, known for its large, fenestrated leaves that showcase creamy white splashes and marbling against a deep green backdrop. This rare variety is highly prized for its unique and captivating appearance, making it a standout addition to any plant collection. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a novice, this plant will undoubtedly become a centerpiece in your indoor garden.

Fun Fact About Monstera – The Science Behind the Variegation

The stunning variegation in the Thai Constellation Monstera is not just for show—it's the result of a genetic mutation that affects chlorophyll production. This mutation leads to the beautiful cream-colored patches on the leaves, making each leaf unique. The name "Thai Constellation" was inspired by the plant's star-like patterns, reminiscent of a constellation in the night sky.

Did You Know? – Monstera’s Natural Climbing Habit

In its native habitat of South and Central America, the Monstera deliciosa is a natural climber, often scaling trees to reach sunlight. While it may not need to climb indoors, providing a moss pole or trellis can help support its growth, allowing it to develop those iconic, fenestrated leaves.

A Touch of Tropical Charm in Every Home

Caring for your Thai Constellation Monstera is straightforward with a few key considerations. Ensure it receives bright, indirect light to maintain its striking variegation. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but be cautious of overwatering, as the plant is sensitive to soggy conditions. High humidity levels and regular feeding during the growing season will encourage lush, robust foliage, helping your Monstera thrive indoors.

Tips for Optimal Growth – Supporting Your Monstera

While this Monstera can be a statement piece on its own, it benefits from a little extra support. Consider adding a moss pole to help it grow upward, replicating its natural climbing habit. This will encourage the plant to develop larger, fenestrated leaves, making it an even more impressive part of your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

How do you ship your plants?

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

Will my plant look like the one on the website?

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

Do you include heat packs with your plants?

We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

Which heat pack should I choose?

Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
