FAQ about Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’:  

• What is the difference between Thai Constellation and variegated Monstera? The Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’ is a variegated Monstera, but it has a more of a creamy -yellow color variegation than the usual white variegation you see. The variegation is stable which means the plant will always have variegation and there is no worry of reversion.
• How do you encourage variegation in a Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’? Place your Thai Constellation in bright direct light to encourage variegation. Variegated plants need more sun than solid green plants because they don't have as much chlorophyll to absorb sunlight.
• Can my Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’ revert? ‘Thai Constellation’ Monsteras don't revert. The variegation is built into their genetic makeup because they're engineered by humans and don't exist in the wild.
