Monstera Standleyana Aurea

*Only available for local pick up or delivery in Central Iowa*

The Monstera standleyana Aurea is a truly captivating and rare houseplant that brings a touch of the exotic to your indoor garden. Known for its unique variegated foliage, this stunning variety of Monstera features elongated, lance-shaped leaves that are a striking mix of dark green and golden-yellow. As the plant matures, it will start growing fenestrated leaves too.

Native to the tropical rainforests of Central America, the Monstera standleyana Aurea thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps accentuate its vibrant golden variegation. While it's relatively low-maintenance, it enjoys a warm environment with consistent watering, allowing the top half or so of soil to dry out before watering again. Its climbing habit means it can be trained to grow vertically on a moss pole or left to cascade beautifully from a hanging basket, creating an elegant, jungle-inspired aesthetic in your home.

Care Tips:

• Water about once a week or so or when the soil is mostly dry. If the leaves look limp, it's definitely ready for a drink!
• Humidity - prefers added humidity since it's native to a tropical climate, but it can be very happy in drier home environments too.
• Light - this plant is very flexible when it comes to light. It can thrive in low to bright indirect light. 
• Repot once you notice roots growing out the bottom of the nursery pot and/or it dries out more quickly between watering. When you choose a new pot for it, only go up 1-2" in pot size at a time to encourage healthy foliage growth. 

Key Features:

• Rare Houseplant: You won't find this beauty just anywhere. It is harder to come by, making it a rare treasure.
• Beautiful Variegation: The yellow marbling on its rich green leaves is truly unique.
• Air-Purifying: Naturally cleanses the air while adding greenery to your space.

Perfect for plant collectors and Monstera enthusiasts, the Monstera standleyana Aurea is a slow-to-moderate grower that requires a bit of patience but rewards with its stunning, one-of-a-kind foliage. This plant makes a fantastic statement piece, adding personality and a burst of color to any living room, office, or indoor garden. Whether as a showpiece or part of a curated collection, the Monstera standleyana Aurea is sure to be a prized addition to your plant family.
