Monstera

(Swiss Cheese plant) Deliciosa White Monster

Creamy white splashes across glossy green leaves, and no two leaves ever look quite the same: that's what makes White Monster so hard to walk past. The white sections contain no chlorophyll, so they can't make energy, which is why it grows a little more slowly than a regular Monstera and every new leaf feels like an event. Picture this green friend on a bright shelf in your living room, slowly working towards those famous split leaves. It takes a little patience, but you'll notice each new leaf has its own pattern. Give it a gentle spot and it will soon earn its place in your urban jungle.

Give it bright, indirect light, for example near an east or west window, because the white parts of the leaves scorch easily in direct sun. Water it when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry, roughly every week or two, and tip away any water left in the saucer so the roots don't sit wet. It's happiest at normal room temperature, around 18 to 26 °C, away from draughts and radiators. Use an airy, well-draining potting mix with some perlite or bark, and repot once roots peek out of the drainage holes, which for a baby is usually within a year. Feed it every few weeks in spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertiliser, and give it a rest in winter. If a leaf edge turns brown, don't panic, the white parts are simply more delicate and softer light usually sorts it. Keep it away from curious pets, as Monstera leaves are mildly toxic if chewed.
