Monstera deliciosa 'Mint' Morphology
About Monstera deliciosa 'Mint'
Monstera deliciosa 'Mint' is a cultivated selection of deliciosa with mint-coloured variegation. The large, broad, deeply fenestrated leaves display marbled mint, pale green, and cream speckling distributed throughout the blade rather than in stark sectoral blocks. As a robust climbing hemiepiphyte, it thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light, producing thick climbing stems, strong petioles, and abundant aerial roots.

Before You Buy
Species-specific things to check when evaluating a listing
- Ensure there is at least one healthy node present — a leaf without a node cannot produce new growth
- For variegated forms, verify variegation is present on the newest leaf and is not reverting to green
- Check for scale insects on petioles and undersides of leaves — monsteras are susceptible
- Confirm the cutting or plant has been rooted before purchasing, unless you are buying intentionally unrooted — unrooted cuttings require a propagation setup to succeed
Propagation Guide
How to Propagate Monstera deliciosa 'Mint'
3-6 months
Cultivar character is preserved through vegetative cuttings
Variegation carries reliably through cuttings. Select cuttings with strong variegation expression — avoid predominantly green sections.
Care Guide
Monstera deliciosa 'Mint' Care Guide & Growing Conditions
Chunky, well-draining mix: 40% potting compost, 30% perlite, 20% orchid bark, 10% worm castings. Monsteras are more tolerant of moisture than most aroids but still need drainage.
Water when the top 3–5 cm is dry. These are forgiving plants but still susceptible to root rot if kept too wet. Water less in winter.
50–70% preferred. More tolerant of typical UK indoor humidity than other aroids, though 60%+ encourages larger leaf development.
Balanced fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks from spring through summer. Monthly in winter or none at all.
Every 12–18 months when roots emerge from drainage holes. Provide a moss pole or support — climbing encourages larger leaf production.
Common Problems
No fenestrations (splits/holes)
Plant is juvenile, or insufficient light
Ensure bright indirect light and allow the plant to mature — fenestrations develop with age and better conditions
Yellow leaves
Overwatering or nutrient deficiency
Check soil moisture before watering; begin a regular fertilising routine in growing season
Brown patches on leaves
Sunburn or cold water on leaves
Avoid direct sun; water at the base and ensure water is room temperature
Softer Than the Albo
The mint variegation in Monstera deliciosa is a softer, greener expression than the stark white sectors of the albo form: pale mint and celadon sectors rather than bold white, with a feathering quality that reads as subtler. Whether this is aesthetically preferable to the albo is a matter of personal sensibility — some collectors find it more elegant; others find it insufficiently dramatic. It is a different phenotype with different expression characteristics and, generally, somewhat more stability in expression than the white forms. Currently priced lower than albo.
