How To Care For Variegated Monstera (Monstera deliciosa "Albo Variegata") | Plant Of The Week Ep. 40

[@Draculiana]

Perfect timing my first Albo comes tomorrow :)

[@alboberry3097]

I have my albo growing in Leca. Personally I find this is really helpful for encouraging the roots growing (and hence the leaf growing) and no need to worry about watering issue. But today I have to change the pot cuz its getting a bit root bound in it. That's really a pain in the butt...

[@yolyV-hg3uc]

I know I’m late, but I just recently purchased two pretty decent size Pink Princess and Monstera Albo for $19.00 each, total: $52 plus change at a Walmart in Cali. Never shop there until I heard about the TC (yes Thai Constellation), PP and AM.

[@Amandasplants]

Thanks so much nick!! I found a varg money tree at home depot an traded it for an albo I'm pretty stoked its gave me one leaf so far I pray to the plant gods quite often lol

[@AprilYSH]

Enjoyed your relaxed vibe in this video 😊

[@tw9307]

Can you share the systemic slow release pesticide you use for prophylaxis? Thanks

[@mommayanna]

Hi Nick, I love your videos! Thank you for this one. I hope you make more videos about this plant. Thank you!

[@Qotus]

The prices over there are baffling. Here in Finland you can get decent one leaf stem cuttings for 20-50€ from private sellers.

[@saylorsoul]

send us a link if they ship to us ;)

Sain semmoisen keskisuuren Variegatan Bauhaus kaupasta hintaan 90€

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

I just ordered one for my birthday next week 🥰🤞🏼 my Thai Con is doing well & my regular are happy so…… 😅

[@paulawalburn3534]

Hi Nick, I always watch your videos and I really appreciate this one as I am considering this one next. I recently purchased my Thai and am using a liquid monstera food but recently it was suggested to use a variegated plant food of 7-10-10. What do you use on this beauty to keep the beautiful white color. I would very much appreciate your comments. My research is not offering up any food that is in these quantities. Thank you.

[@Rabid97]

That's monstera borsigiana,you can tell from leaf size and grow pattern.

[@breakingburque2200]

One of my hardest plants to keep happy

[@tinaseminerio6977]

That is a beautiful specimen!

[@Greenplantguide]

Swiss cheese plant is easy care plant💚💚💚💯💯💯, great video with helpful tips. thanks for sharing

[@staywellandstrong4199]

Have been SO waiting for this - on this delicate beauty. Thank you for your guidance - I've hesitated greatly until now. Perhaps you have a tip for feeding, as well?👍 Great presentation.

[@nelsonjimenez983]

What are the systemic granules you use?

[@Dieppaloveplants]

Your monstera is gorgeuos my her leave are growing small can u plz tell me how i can get bigger leaves thank u

[@jamiewestmoreland6289]

Love this Series of videos

[@carolgraham7691]

I have never had pests on the regular monstera deliciosa...is that common?

[@chowfun1976]

It always cracks me up how people are willing to pay sky high prices for a variegated plant when the non variegated green variety is usually dirt cheap, especially considering how much more fragile the plant is due to its lack of chlorophyll.

[@elizabethwalton2255]

People have always gone for rare. Once you get good with a regular Monstera, makes sense that you'd want a cool variegated one. The white looks awesome. When people can keep them healthy and gorgeous, it's a pretty big flex imo.

[@elizabethwalton2255]

I mean, why do people climb mountains when they have hills in their back yards? The challenge.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Nick! That is a beautiful plant, but there is no way that I would spend that kind of money on a plant of any kind. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@elizabethwalton2255]

I was under the impression that the Albo was borsigiana and the Thai was Deliciosa... Do I have this backwards? Or just completely wrong lol?

[@kendravoracek3636]

💚💚

[@saylorsoul]

wow my monstera is the only plant that doesnt have pests and never has lol

[@sherryporsch9349]

Where ya been Nick? Costa released a few Thai’s 600$. Would love too see one of them! 💚

[@elizabethwalton2255]

Yeah, they released some expensive mother plants after failing to bring us decently priced ones. And I've heard from MANY people that the ones from the previous batch had root rot/many of them died really fast. I wouldn't go Costa 😬

[@Dark_Side_Productions]

David Himself did you win it?

[@davidhimself9556]

@@Dark_Side_Productions No...😔 and there weren't even many ppl in the giveaway.

[@ViciVadeline]

is this albo deliciosa? it looks like it's more borsigiana

[@lemusiciensolitaire8792]

Isn’t this M. borsigiana? 😳

[@mzrexy07]

It is. Monstera Borsiginia Albo, hence the white on it.

[@fancythatcookies]

I don’t have one because I’m afraid I will kill it

[@ems90s]

I just killed mine 😭

[@paeve362]

nooooo, was it pests? root rot? thats so sad

[@mzrexy07]

Ohhh no😔so sorry. root rot? Oh hear that’s the most common issue.
