Native Habitat and Growth Patterns
Monstera deliciosa is native to the tropical rainforests of southern Mexico and Central America, where it climbs trees and spreads across the forest floor in search of light and moisture. The Thai Constellation is a cultivated, tissue-cultured variegated variety, developed in Thailand. Its cream variegation doesn’t occur naturally in the wild — it’s a man-made mutation that’s been stabilised for reliable, non-reverting colour.
In your home, it will grow steadily into a large plant with broad, fenestrated leaves and a vining, tropical structure if given the right support and care.
Styling at Home
Despite its small size, this plant has real presence. Style your Baby Thai Constellation in a minimal ceramic pot or soft terracotta to let the foliage shine. It’s perfect for small spaces, desks, shelves, or grouped with other rare plants. As it matures, it becomes a showpiece — especially when trained up a moss pole or stake.
Care Requirements
• Light: Bright, indirect light — essential for keeping the variegation strong
• Water: Let the top 2cm of soil dry out before watering
• Humidity: Thrives in average household humidity; occasional misting is welcome
• Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix with orchid bark and perlite
• Feeding: During the growing season, feed monthly with our Organic Tropical Plant Food — a gentle vegan formula made for tropical foliage plants

Interesting Facts
• The cream variegation in Thai Constellation is caused by a mutation that prevents chlorophyll from forming in certain cells
• Unlike Monstera Albo, the variegation is stable and won’t revert
• It was first developed through tissue culture in Thailand in the late 1990s
• In the wild, the original species grows up trees using aerial roots to reach light in the rainforest canopy
