Monstera Standleyana Albo Variegated
Comes in a ceramic white pot similar to the one shown.
Like other types of monstera, monstera standleyana albo is an attractive, low-maintenance houseplant if you give it basic care and the proper growing conditions. This plant grows best in a warm place with high humidity and bright, indirect light. Use a moss pole or trellis to give this plant support, or grow it in a hanging basket to allow its vines to trail down.
Light
Give your monstera standleyana albo at least six hours of bright, indirect light per day. This could be in a north-facing or east-facing window or several feet from a south-facing or west-facing window. Be sure to keep the plant out of direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. You can also put monstera standleyana albo in a brightly lit window with a sheer curtain to filter and diffuse the light.
Soil
Your monstera standleyana albo will grow best in a light, chunky potting mix that drains well but holds moisture. You can buy pre-made aroid potting mix at garden centers and plant nurseries or make your own mix by blending equal parts peat moss, orchid bark, and perlite.
Water
Rather than watering on a set schedule, check the plant's soil moisture regularly to prevent underwatering or overwatering. Water your monstera standleyana albo when the top two inches of soil have dried out. Note that your plant will probably need less water in the winter when growth slows down.
Temperature and Humidity
Monstera standleyana albo can grow in temperatures ranging from 10 to 35 degrees. Temperatures under 10 or over 35 degrees can damage or stress your plant. Keep it away from drafty doorways and windows or vents blowing hot or cold air.
Fertilizer
During the spring and summer, feed your monstera standleyana albo once per month. Use a balanced organic houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength to avoid overfeeding. Always fertilize your plant after watering it well to avoid burning delicate roots.

Pruning
Though monstera standleyana albo can grow up to 20 feet tall in its native habitat, it's unlikely to grow anywhere near that large indoors. If your plant is outgrowing your space, you can prune back unruly growth in spring (and save those stems to propagate into new plants). Give the plant a moss pole for support.
