About trees
Monstera deliciosa 'Albo Borsigiana Japan' belongs to the Araceae family and is a climbing vine that uses aerial roots to attach to surfaces, with leaves that enlarge or develop fenestrations when given suitable age and conditions. For display, its distinctive feature is the contrast between pale areas on the leaves and the green portions, while the proportion of variegation may differ between new leaves. Leaving enough space between shoots makes the form easier to appreciate and prevents overlap. Leaf color, thickness, and size may change with the plant's age, light levels, and root health.
Suitable conditions include bright indirect light, a coarse airy growing medium, and a support for the stem to climb. Check the medium before every watering and avoid moving the plant abruptly from shade into intense sun. It is suitable for creating vertical structure and a tropical-forest atmosphere through its distinctive foliage. Acclimate it step by step, observing the shoots and roots before increasing water, light, or fertilizer so the plant can respond without sudden stress.
