Thai Constellation Monstera Care
Scientific Name
Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’
Light
The Thai Constellation Monstera thrives best in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can damage the delicate variegated leaves, causing them to burn or fade. If placed in a spot with low light, this variegated monstera may not grow as vigorously, and its signature creamy-white variegation could diminish over time. An east- or north-facing window is ideal, as it provides gentle sunlight without being too intense. If you’re growing your Monstera plant indoors in a space with limited natural light, consider supplementing with grow lights to maintain healthy growth.
Water
When it comes to watering your Monstera Thai Constellation, allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, a common issue for this Monstera plant, so it’s crucial to ensure proper drainage. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain from the bottom of the pot, but avoid letting the plant sit in standing water. In the winter months, you can reduce the frequency of watering as the plant’s growth naturally slows. A well-draining potting mix, ideally designed for aroids like the Thai Constellation Monstera, will help prevent waterlogged soil.
Hardiness Zones
The Thai Constellation Monstera is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 10-12 if grown outdoors. However, in cooler climates, this variegated monstera is typically grown as an indoor houseplant. If you live in a warm, humid region, your Monstera plant can thrive outdoors in a shaded area, mimicking its native tropical environment. For most growers, though, it will be happiest indoors where conditions are more easily controlled.

Thai Constellation FAQ
How to Care for Thai Constellation Monstera?
The Thai Constellation Monstera thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. Water the plant when the top inch or two of soil is dry, and avoid overwatering. Make sure your plant is placed in an area with high humidity or mist it occasionally to replicate its natural tropical environment. Fertilize monthly during the growing season for best results.
Are Thai Constellation Monstera Plants Slow Growers?
Yes, Thai Constellation Monstera plants grow more slowly than the typical Monstera deliciosa due to their variegation. The variegated parts of the leaves lack chlorophyll, which limits the plant’s ability to photosynthesize as quickly as a fully green Monstera.
Are Thai Constellations Rare?
Yes, Thai Constellation Monsteras are considered rare. Their unique variegation comes from a genetic mutation, and they can only be propagated through cutting, making them more difficult to find in nurseries or plant shops.
Can Thai Constellation Plants Revert?
No, the variegation of the Thai Constellation Monstera is stable and cannot revert to fully green leaves like some other variegated plants. The variegation is a result of a genetic mutation, so the plant retains its beautiful, creamy-white patterns as it grows.
