Monstera Thai Constellation

Monstera Thai Constellation is a stunning variegated cultivar of Monstera deliciosa. Its large, glossy green leaves are marbled and splashed with creamy white to yellow variegation, resembling a starry sky. Like its parent species, it produces fenestrations (natural splits and holes) as it matures, giving it a dramatic tropical appearance.

Grow Zone
Best grown outdoors year-round in USDA Zones 10–11. In Zone 9, it is not frost-hardy and should be grown in containers and brought indoors during winter.

Height and Width
When given support, can reach 6–8 feet tall indoors and much larger outdoors in tropical zones. Indoors or in containers, expect about 3–6 feet wide, depending on training and space.

Uses
Primarily an ornamental foliage plant. Grown as a statement houseplant, patio container plant, or tropical accent in shaded gardens. Its striking variegation makes it highly sought-after for interior décor and collector plantings.

Native Range
The parent species, Monstera deliciosa, is native to tropical rainforests of Central America. The Thai Constellation is a cultivar developed in tissue culture in Thailand, not found in the wild.

Sun Requirements
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct Louisiana sun will scorch its leaves, especially the white variegated portions. Outdoors in Zone 9, place in dappled shade or on a shaded patio. Indoors, an east- or north-facing window, or filtered light from a south/west window, works well.

Water Requirements
Prefers evenly moist but well-draining soil. Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Sensitive to overwatering, especially in containers. Benefits from high humidity (60%+), which keeps leaves lush and prevents browning on variegated sections.

Zone 9 Growing Tips

• Outdoor Season: Safely move outside in mid to late spring once nights remain above 60°F. It thrives in the warm, humid summers of Louisiana.

• Container Growing: Use a large, well-draining pot with a chunky aroid mix (orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir) to mimic its natural epiphytic environment. Provide a moss pole or trellis for climbing.

• Winter Protection: Before first frost (usually November), bring indoors to a bright spot with good humidity. Protect from drafts and dry heater air.

• Humidity Boost: Outdoors in Louisiana’s summer humidity, it thrives naturally. Indoors in winter, use a humidifier or pebble tray.

• Fertilization: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half-strength. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows.

• Pruning: Trim damaged leaves and prune lightly to manage size. Avoid heavy cutting, as variegated growth is slower.
