The Thai Constellation (Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation') is a sought-after variegated cultivar of the classic Swiss Cheese Plant, its large, glossy, deeply fenestrated leaves splashed and speckled with creamy white and pale yellow like a scattering of stars across a night sky. First cultivated in Thailand, its variegation is stable and appears on both leaves and stems, so every leaf unfurls as a unique piece of natural pattern. Genuinely scarce and slow to propagate, it is a plant collectors seek out.

An evergreen climber, it makes a real centrepiece in a bright room and rewards a moss pole with bigger, more dramatic leaves as it grows. One to give a little room and a well-lit, stable spot.

Care at a glance

Light: Bright, indirect light. The creamy areas hold no chlorophyll, so it needs more light than an all-green Monstera, though harsh direct sun will scorch the pale patches.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, watering when the top of the soil feels slightly dry. Ease back through winter.

Humidity: Enjoys warmth and higher humidity, in keeping with its tropical origins.

Support: Loves a moss pole to climb, developing larger, more fenestrated leaves as it matures.

Pet note: Best kept away from curious pets and children, as the leaves can irritate if chewed.

Supplied in a 12cm nursery pot. As a living plant, size and variegation vary from one to the next, so yours will be one of a kind.
