Monstera plants are highly sought after for their stunningly fenestrated and typically large foliage. The Thai Constellation Monstera introduces a rare and eye-catching variegation to this genus. Its leaves develop random splashes, specks, and streaks of brilliant white as they mature and split. Monstera deliciosa, native to rainforests, is renowned for its air-purifying and humidity-boosting abilities indoors. This particular cultivar is a hybrid developed in Thailand to showcase the best attributes of Monstera deliciosa.

Best Locations For Growing Thai Constellation Monstera

Although these plants are often hard to find and can be pricey, they are as easy to care for as any other Monstera. Adaptable to various light and humidity levels, the Thai Constellation can grow in any room and makes a striking floor plant when trained on a trellis or moss pole. Gardeners fortunate enough to live in mild climates (USDA hardiness zones 9-11) can place this decorative beauty near outdoor seating areas or entryways. Keep children and pets away, as the leaves, stems, and aerial roots can be toxic if ingested.

Thai Constellation Monstera Sunlight Requirements

Medium to bright indirect light levels are ideal for maintaining the plant's vibrant variegation. Position your Monstera in an east or north-facing window to provide bright light during the early part of the day. Intense direct sunlight can burn the foliage.

Thai Constellation Monstera Care

Epiphytic plants prefer a chunky, lightweight, and moisture-retentive soil. Pre-made orchid mixes work well and can be made less bulky by combining them with a general-purpose houseplant potting mix at a ratio of 1:1. Transplant to a larger pot when roots emerge from the bottom or top of the container. Terra cotta or unglazed pots help wick away excess moisture from the roots and maintain plant health. Regularly wipe the leaves to keep them free from dust and dirt. Use filtered or distilled water for misting to prevent mineral spots on the leaves.

Watering Thai Constellation Monstera

Check the soil moisture every 7-10 days. Consistent watering is essential to keep the potting mix slightly moist, similar to a wrung-out sponge. Monstera can tolerate some drying between waterings when grown in a humid environment.

Feeding Thai Constellation Monstera

Monsteras prefer light but consistent fertilization. Apply a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer, and discontinue feeding in winter when daylight is limited.
