# Hey guys 👋 Is it normal for a new leaf of a Monstera 'Thai…

_Posted by Ava on 2026-08-20_

Hey guys 👋

Is it normal for a new leaf of a Monstera 'Thai Constellation' to be a different color than the other leaves this drastically? Also it is a Monstera 'Thai Constellation', correct? Thanks!

This is Herman’s newest leaf! They typically start out lighter colored then harden off and get more like that biggest leaf there…Herman is a Thai Con. Yours seems so to me…

My newest leaf is a few weeks old and still a much different shade. I believe it takes over a month to fully develop the mature chlorophyll, and even then one leaf is older and therefore has had more dust accumulate. If I cleaned both freshly it might be closer. (Ignore the normal deliciosa)

I can’t wait till Herman matures to that kind of level! …do you know your’s age?

#### Nikiller replied on 2026-08-20

I bought it from Lowe’s in late June, it probably was in a greenhouse being beefed up for 6 months prior to that I’d assume. How often do you fertilize Herman and with what? I started using superthrive foliage blend and doing it every other watering at 3/4th strength to see if that speeds up his growth because I think it can size up instead of slightly down.

What’s the ratio of that blend? I’ve probably been under doing it with Herman…to be honest.

#### Nikiller replied on 2026-08-21

This is the ingredients and the mix rate is supposed to be 1tsp per gallon of water but I typically do a little less but more often, usually 3/4tsp. I was originally using this triple 10 and jackpot combo but the triple 10 was making my foliage flower so I swapped my foliage to the superthrive stuff

Yup! Normal! \& for some reason it makes it so much more fun! Like they’re highlighting for us to not miss it! 😍 🤩

This is my newest leaf, the first one I watched develop since I got my Thai. It was VERY light! It darkened to this shade but it unfurled with the fenestration. I was so tickled!

If it’s the newer leaf, It should mature in time
