Monstera "Frozen Freckles"
€40 – €75 · Coming soon
A variegated form of Monstera adansonii: fenestrated leaves flecked with cream, white and mint green, up to some thirty centimetres. The variegation is what dictates where it goes — too much shade and it fades until it disappears; direct sun and the pale zones burn before the rest, because without chlorophyll they have no protection. A climber: given a support, the leaves grow larger and fenestrate sooner.
