Monstera Borsigiana Variegated Albo
The Monstera Albo, is a rare variegated version of the Monstera Deliciosa. While there are other variegated varieties, Albos can be identified by having variegation that is closer to pure white with no cream color. Many people love its lovely green leaves with nearly white variegations that may include marbling, streaks, and larger blocks, including half-moon.
Basic Care
Because of the lack of chlorophyll, your monstera albo will need lots of bright, indirect sunlight. Place near a bright window that faces south or east but where it will never be in the sun's direct rays. If you can't provide enough natural light, you may need to supplement with a grow light. I personally have mine under a "full spectrum" grow light 15 hours daily. Avoid placing the albo in direct sunlight as this will burn its leaves. The variegated pieces of the leaves are extra susceptible to sunburn.
Make sure you're watering as soon as the soil is dry about an inch down (or one knuckle deep). This will generally be anywhere from 7 to 12 days. Brown tips could also develop if it's too close to a drafty spot in your home, so make sure it's well protected from vents. It is best to use distilled or rain-water.
The Albo will thrive in high humidity. The more humid it is, the happier your albo will be. I would suggest placing near a humidifier. (This is how I keep mine thriving and happy) Not all plant parents do any of this.
