Monstera Adansonii Variegata
Also known as monstera friedrichsthalii variegata, swiss cheese plant, mexican plant, hurricane plant.
Introduction
Monstera Adansonii is famous because of the unique variegated foliage and leaves with holes that need more light than the ones without variegation.
Variegated plants (yellow or white parts) need brighter light to survive since they have less chlorophyll than regular green plants.
Monstera Adandonii Variegata is mildly toxic if ingested so you should keep an eye on your pets or children. Thanks to its aerial roots it climbs trees, totems, wood or whatever it has nearby, so you can have fun experimenting with totems or other superficies to see how this grows.
