Meet All Variegated Monstera Varieties And Expert Care Tips @noldy.topan

In this tour, we cover the most extensive variegated monstera collector in Indonesia - Mr Noldy Topan of @dutahijauabadi. We learn about the difference between borsigiana and deliciosa, as well as different variegation and mutation. At the end of the episode, I also slid in some “rare” variegated monsteras not shown in Mr Noldy’s collection, so you get a full view of every single variegated monstera variety I have ever encountered. In this tour, Mr Noldy also shared his experience with caring for and propagating these precious monsteras.

There was a viral video of Mr. Noldi. Because of that beautiful specimen of Monstera Mint. When it won the competition it has all mint leaves without/very minimal green patches ❤ now they call it white mint.

Whoa! Thank you for sharing these beautiful plants!

Thank youuu

[@benholland3682]

It makes perfect sense! Reducing N is a good idea as the 'green' chlorophyl producing gene is always more dominant and vigorous by trait. If youre slamming N and pushing growth hard, the dominant chlorophyl producing gene is likely to take over with continued high N. These kinda vids are priceless from such an expert.

[@atociekawe9136]

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu ❤️

[@vickokoszka6836]

Stunning! ......What Beautiful variations on these plants. It is mind blowing the amount of work that goes into producing all these variants....even at the very beginning, with 1 chance seedling or 1 leaf that show a slight variation. Thanks Sean.....only just subscribed to your channel and am enjoying binging on so many vlogs. I have not noticed any vlogs dedicated to sanseverias......there are many on youtube but in Indonesian. Would love to see you do a couple as there is an incredible variety and many hybrids and mutations. A particular favorite of mine as well as anthuriums. I live in West Australia and dont have the number of growers/ hybridisers as in Asia, so I dont get to see all the amazing and stunning variety of plants I love.

[@onlyplants]

thank youu. If you come across a good collector or nursery for sansevierias in Indonesia, please forward to my instagram @bo.tan.ist I would love to have a go at a sansevieria episode.

[@onlyplants]

Yeahhh he’s much cooler in person 😀

[@nackedgrils9302]

Thanks Sean, I wasn't expecting to learn about so many varieties in this video since we're talking about one of my favourite genus and species but most of these were new to me! ''Super Orange'', ''Thai Constellation Crème Brulée'' and ''Yellow Marilyn'' are new favourites! I'm wondering if these will ever hit the market in America and Canada... wish they do as prices seem to go down quickly once collectors here start propagating! Speaking of propagation, my ''Thai Constellation'' (first rare plant I bought a year ago) is almost big enough for propagation, so I might start making money instead of only spending..!

[@onlyplants]

Yes these will hit global market as soon as production is scaled up enough. They are largely in hands of growers and sellers now.

[@nackedgrils9302]

@@onlyplants You were absolutely right! I've encountered ''Yellow Marilyn'' online last summer as well as 'Green on Green'', ''White Monster'' and ''Oceana'' aka ''Ocean Mint'' in person last week. This seller I met last week had a crazy collection and he even had different forms of the deliciosa like Sierrana, Brasil and Macrocosm! For the record, his ''White Monster'' propagates seemed to be reverting as well. Completely unrelated but he also had a non-TC Spiritus Sancti whose leaves were much darker than the TC ones (even growing in the same room), the leaves were almost black and had this velvety look... I want one now that I've seen it in person but it's $10K...

The one plant shop I occasionally buy my plants from usually uses baby wipes to clean water stains off the leaves. I would give it a try but not for the under sides of the plants. Great video

[@onlyplants]

I should get some too 😀

[@Comeback.king.]

I use it on the bottom sides all the time. It’s fine.

[@AmericanaGardens]

[@ImStuckInStockton]

Didn't realize there were so many varieties. That super orange 😍 Can't find anything about it on google!!

[@onlyplants]

🥰🥰 its my second time seeing it. Only a handful of people have it Im sure

[@lauraberry960]

I really love the monsterra mint. Maybe some day I'll be able to afford one.

[@onlyplants]

Me too 🥲 i have a feeling it would be years. But meanwhile there are many affordable plants to collect.

[@pandesurf]

I have found that when I water my variegated plants (money tree, monstera also) with urea (high nitrogen one you use for leafy vegetables) the leaves get so big and I always, I mean ALWAYS, get a prettier variegation on new leaves. I also make sure that they do get super bright indirect light (I had mine also facing direct) to achieve that (thank you SO much for telling the secret on your other vid). The variegated ones outside my balcony are so showy. The ones indoor while they get so big and leafy, I don’t have much variegation on new leaves.

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa thanks for the share. Interesting read.

Hi I’m Tom from the Philippine thank you for this amazing video of monstera mint ,I wonder what media he is using ?

[@onlyplants]

Interesting question… he did cover his media composition in his own youtube channel. But I shall do an episode for nursery media composition soon!

[@diamdante]

Hi Sean, not related to the video per se but I just want to say that you can link your other channels in the "Channels" tab of your profile. I actually don't mind listening to your stuff in BI but I didn't know you had any other channel until I saw your linktree on ig 😅

Baru ketemu dengan Utuber Thailand (Mr. Hong) yang juga kenalan Pak Noldi di Jatujak market...

[@onlyplants]

Woww

[@GoodkatNW]

Very cool tour, and beautiful plants. One quick question; we converted a Deliciosa to aquatic roots (planted in a 65gal tank), and the growth rate went up by a drastic amount. We're getting 1 new full leaf every week, and about 2' per month (31", to be exact). Is this level of growth normal?

[@onlyplants]

Not normal haha. But is there nutrients in the tank? Perhaps from fish… its probably getting good light too

[@GoodkatNW]

@@onlyplants It's a fully stocked tank, so definitely lots of nutrients from the fish. I use pothos and a few other plants as partial filters to reduce the frequency of water changes. It does have decent light, all artificial though (overhead LED grow strips). I'm just wondering how to slow the growth somewhat without damaging it, the roots have taken over 1/3 of the tank in 45 days, and have now reached the substrate (approx. 3' from where the plant enters the water)

[@Eeeeeeeeeee99895]

Woah, beautiful monsteras. Do you know if monstera mint’s variegation is permanent or if there’s a chance of it to revert ? Tempted to get one after watching this video omg!
