Monstera Albo Borsigiana Care Guide

Monstera Albo Borsigiana is a rare, variegated Monstera adored by collectors for its stunning white-splashed leaves.

Native to the tropical rainforests of Central America, it shares many care traits with Monstera deliciosa but is slightly more high-maintenance due to its variegation.

Light

• Needs 6–7 hours of bright, indirect light daily to maintain variegation.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the white leaf sections.

• Low-light conditions can cause variegation to fade, so this is not a low-light plant.

Soil

• Requires rich, well-draining soil.

• Recommended mix: equal parts perlite, orchid bark, coco peat, and coco coir.

• Optional: add natural fertilizers like worm castings for extra nutrients.

Watering

• Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry between waterings.

• Water thoroughly, allowing excess to drain from the pot.

• Overwatering can cause root rot, so avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C)

• Optimal humidity: 60% or higher

• Indoor tips: use a humidifier, group plants together, or place in naturally humid rooms like bathrooms or kitchens.

• Can be grown outdoors in USDA zones 9–11 during summer or year-round.

Fertilizer

• Requires more diligent feeding than standard Monstera deliciosa due to variegation.

• Use balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

• Avoid over-fertilizing. Stop feeding during fall and winter when growth slows.

• Incorporate natural fertilizers in soil for extra nourishment.

Here's a complete guide on how to care for monstera plants.
