Monstera ‘Japanese Tricolour’ – Rare Variegated Collector’s Dream 🎨🌿

The elusive Monstera ‘Japanese Tricolour’ is a breathtaking variegated form of Monstera deliciosa, known for its three-tone marbling of creamy white, minty green, and rich emerald on each split leaf. With unpredictable yet artistic variegation patterns, this plant is a true showpiece and a must-have for rare aroid collectors.

Key Features:

✔ Tri-colour variegation: deep green, soft mint, and white tones
✔ Classic fenestrated leaves with unique, irregular splits
✔ Rare and highly sought after – often grown from tissue culture in Japan
✔ Slow-growing and stunning in every stage
✔ Ideal as a statement specimen in bright, indirect light

Care Instructions:

• Light: Requires bright, indirect light to maintain variegation – avoid direct sun

• Watering: Water when the top 4–5cm of soil is dry – avoid overwatering

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity – mist regularly or use a pebble tray

• Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix (coco coir, perlite, orchid bark, compost)

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks in growing season with a balanced or variegation-safe fertiliser

• Temperature: Loves warmth – 18–28°C is ideal; protect from cold drafts

• Growth Tip: Rotate regularly for even light exposure and stronger growth

🌿 Note: As with all variegated Monsteras, more white = slower growth and more sensitivity. Keep leaf edges clean and monitor for browning on heavily variegated sections.
