Monstera 'Albo'

The Monstera 'Albo' is one of the most sought-after plants among collectors, known for its stunning variegated leaves that blend striking white and vibrant green. These plants were propagated from a mature stem cuttings.

Hydroponic Growth and Shipping

The Monstera 'Albo' plant we have available (the plants you see pictured) have been grown hydroponically to promote strong, healthy root system. It will be sent bare-rooted, carefully wrapped in sphagnum moss to maintain moisture during transit. This allows you the flexibility to continue growing it in a hydro setup or transition it to soil once received.

Care Instructions for Monstera 'Albo'

As with all variegated Monsteras, care will vary depending on the amount of white in the leaves. Leaves with more white are more sensitive to environmental conditions, so special attention is needed:

  • Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain the plant’s variegation. Leaves with more white require adequate light to prevent browning, but excessive direct sunlight can lead to leaf burns.
  • Watering:  If you continue growing it hydroponically, maintain the water levels so the roots always have access to water. If transitioning to soil, allow the top few cm to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, but it’s important not to let the plant fully dry out either.
  • Humidity: As a tropical plant, the Monstera 'Albo' prefers higher humidity levels (60% or more), though it can adapt to average household humidity with the right care.
  • Growing Medium: Whether you choose to grow it in a hydroponic setup or transition it to soil, ensure the roots have access to well-draining conditions. For soil setups, use a chunky mix with orchid bark, perlite, and peat to mimic its natural environment.

What to Expect

The plant you see in the photos is the exact plant you will receive. It will be sent bare-rooted, carefully wrapped in sphagnum moss to ensure moisture is maintained during transit.

Shipping

This plant will be sent bare rooted, wrapped in sphagnum moss.

We ship plants every Monday to non-quarantine states. Please place your order before 2 pm on Sunday to ensure your plant is sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped until the following week.

Orders to WA and TAS are shipped on selected dates only due to quarantine requirements. Orders for WA and TAS must be placed by 12 pm (midday) on the Friday before dispatch. Please see the list of WA and TAS shipping dates at the bottom of this page.

Shipping for plants to non-quarantine states is capped at $18.00 per order. Shipping for plants to WA and TAS is capped at $30.00 per order. We currently do not ship plants to NT.

Shipping costs include packing materials, labour, and certification where required. We use recycled packaging where possible to reduce waste and keep costs down, while ensuring all packing materials are sturdy enough to protect your plants during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We do not request signature on delivery, as parcels returned to the post office may not be collected for several days, which can place additional stress on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from Northern Wellbeing Centre, 113C Miller Street, Epping VIC. If you select this option at checkout, we will email you to arrange a pickup time.

Current Growing Conditions

This plant has been propagated and grown in a hydroponics medium. All of our hydroponics plants are potted up in leca, perlite, or MAB grow, and left sitting in 1 - 2 cm of nutrient solution at all times. Our nutrient solution is made up of Growth Technology Foliage Focus or Complete Focus diluted to 5 ml per litre of water.

This plant is currently growing in our climate controled grow room. Temperatures sit abouve 20 C at all times, and relative humidity does not drop below 60%.

Suggested Care on Arrival

This plant will arrive with its roots wrapped in sphagnum moss. If you would like to continue growing this plant as we have, in a hydroponic medium, then we suggest you pot it up shortly after receiving it.

In general, we find that plants transition from hydroponics mediums to soil without any issues. However, if you want to transition the plant into soil with extra caution, then you can keep it in the moss for a few days. This will allow your plant to acclimate to your environment before transitioning to a new medium. You may need to re-moisten the moss during this time to prevent it from completely drying out.

When ready, you can pot the plant up in a well-draining soil mix. 50% premium potting mix and 50% perlite works well, but adding extra amendments such as orchid bark for extra drainage can help in creating an optimum soil mix. These extra amendments should especially be used for anthuriums, which require extra drainage. If you require more specific information about soil mix, please contact us.

If you require a growing pot and/or potting medium (soil or perlite) let us know in the notes section at check-out and we’ll send it with your bare rooted plant.
