Hi guys , I just got my hands on a monstera mint , I would love some help here. Is the yellow/white leaf normal ? Also what are your best tips to take care of . I have very large monstera Thai that are thriving but it’s my first time with this one

The yellow one will die off but the rest looks nice!! Put it in a east facing window and take care of it just like any monstera.. it looks great!!!

Thank you so much 🖤

Nothing to fear, the lighter color leaf is actually super common with mint variegated monstera as well. That’s a newer leaf and it has beautiful variegation! Wait until you see the leafs coming, they will be gorgeous!

The only thing that mint monsteras require is more sunlight! Don’t be fooled when people say indirect, you can “direct” grow lights right over them or facing the front!

Thank you so much for that message ! I only have north faced window so I bought her a grow lamp , she’s near the window too. And thank you for reassuring me for the new leaf because it looks new. Like it just got out not the kind of overwatering ones.

I was stressed
