I can’t wait till I can get my hands on one. This is one of my fav monsteras. The variegation on yours is everything🤎

Thank you so much I actually took myself to Walmart and picked a good one I’m actually surprised it’s lasting ! I just hate the leaf separation !!!

gosh what beautiful variegation! her leaves are spreading out because she wants to face her light source. monstera deliciosa has a "front" and "back" of the stem, and right now the side of the plant is what's facing the sun. if you turn the pot so the newest leaf is towards you, they'll all straighten out

Ok perfect info I just turned it !! It’s a constellation does it make a difference?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-08-23

it will grow the same way as a normal deliciosa, the only difference between a thai and a normal is the variegation :-) i would look into a stake of some kind soon, right now yours is crawling and it wants to climb. it doesn't need a moss pole like a lot of people will tell you, i grow my thai on a wooden plank. anything tall and heavy enough to support it will work

Wow it’s beautiful and has very stable variegation!
