Monstera deliciosa var. borsigiana ‘Full Mint Variegata' is an exceptionally rare variety within the popular Monstera group. This plant is particularly prized by collectors for the unusual mint-colored variety that can appear over the leaves. Unlike the more familiar white-fleshed Monstera varieties, this selection exhibits a soft, light green to mint colored markings that give the leaves a unique and refined appearance. The combination of rarity and decorative foliage makes this variety among the most sought-after Monstera collection plants.

Origin

The species Monstera deliciosa is native to the tropical rain forests of Central America, where it grows as a climbing aroid that works its way up along tree trunks.

In its natural habitat, the plant develops in warm, moist forests where light is filtered through the canopy. The plant forms aerial roots with which it attaches to trees as it grows toward the light.

The form borsigiana is often used within horticulture to replace the faster-growing and slightly more slender-growing form of Monstera deliciosa. The variety 'Full Mint {Variegata}' is a rare selection in which the foliage shows partial mint-colored variety.

Kenmerken

Monstera deliciosa var. borsigiana ‘Full Mint Variegata' forms heart-shaped leaves that, when mature, develop the characteristic incisions and openings that Monstera is known for.

The most striking feature of this variety is its variegation. On the leaves, patterns appear in soft mint green to light green tones that contrast with the darker green leaves. On some leaves, variety can cover large areas of the leaf, while others are more subtly marked.

Because variety is a naturally varying characteristic, each plant has unique leaf markings. This makes each Monstera Full Mint {Variegata} visually distinctive.

The plant grows as a climber and develops aerial roots that allow it to attach to a support. In a suitable environment, the leaves can grow significantly larger as the plant ages.

Care

Light

Monstera deliciosa var. borsigiana ‘Full Mint Variegata' grows best in bright, indirect light. Sufficient light helps keep the variety highly visible. Avoid direct bright sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

Temperature

The plant grows well at temperatures between about 18 and 28 °C. Temperatures below about 15 °C are less well tolerated.

Substrate

Use an aerated and well-draining substrate suitable for tropical aroids. Mixtures with bark, coconut fiber and organic matter provide a good balance of moisture and ventilation around the roots.

Humidity

A humidity of about 60 percent or higher promotes healthy growth and leaf development.

Watering

Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly before watering again. Preferably use demineralized water or rainwater.

Feeding

During the growing period, a light plant food can be given regularly to support healthy leaf growth.

Growth

As a climbing plant, Monstera develops best when it has a solid support, such as a moss stick or climbing structure. This allows the leaves to grow larger and gives the plant a natural growth form.

Good, Fun, Important Topics
Format: Paperback
Good, solid, read for ages 12+. Somewhat unrealistic and yet believable story of two strong young female characters traveling west disguised as boys. Couldn't stop reading it until I was finished with the book, and now my granddaughter is doing the same. This book has many relevant themes about race, gender, class, religion, and other stereotypes and is an excellent choice for a classroom or family read aloud. Get it.

Wonderful story, great for book club though written by a young adult author.
Format: Kindle
Such a “cliffhanger” for me, a just could not put it down. I read this Wild West historical novel three times, that is how good it was. Such great fun for me, while got the ladies in our book club talking about growing up, being brave.

My pick for Best YA from 2015
Format: Kindle
I don't usually like Westerns, but this historical novel reads like a racially diverse Little House on the Prairie. There's a touch of romance, but the most important relationship is the friendship between these two resourceful girls. The writing is superb with well developed characters, a fast pace and a fine sense of place and period (1849). Despite dealing with tough issues like murder, slavery and racism, it still manages to be a feel good story, appropriate for tweens as well as teens. The girl protagonists are 15 and 16 and the boys are a bit older. This debut tops my list of best YA from 2015 that I've read to date: http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2015/12/best-ya-books-of-2015.html

Nice
Format: Kindle
There is some attempted sexual violence. Otherwise this is a good book for middle and high schoolers. Story of a Chinese American and African American girl on the run in the wild wild west.

Format: Hardcover
Over the past year I have made a foray into YA Westerns and I have yet to be disappointed. Under a Painted Sky is a diverse, cultural infused tale of two girls, Our main character, Sam a Chinese, newly orphaned girl, teams up with Annamae (Andy), an African-America, runaway slave. Together they flee St. Joe, Missouri disguised as boys and begin on the Oregon Trail. They soon join three cowboys who help keep them safe and teach them how to survive. I think what I loved most about this book is how Lee was able to incorporate Sam's Chinese heritage and beliefs along with Andy's and intertwine all it beautifully into this richly told story. Sam's and Andy's friendship was also a highlight of the book. It caused for some great moments, some funny, many heartfelt, and I was glad to see such a positive example of female friendship in a YA novel. Although "girl disguised as boy" seem to be a common theme in YA westerns I did not mind it here and thought Sam's inner thoughts about the challenges of pretending to be a boy were hilarious. I think Lee struck the perfect balance between an adventure story, a coming of age tale, and portrait of what life could be like for minorities and females in the 1800s
