Monstera Deliciosa White Lava
Monstera Deliciosa White Lava
Monstera deliciosa White Lava is a variegated cultivar within the M. deliciosa complex, originating from horticultural selection rather than natural variation.
Characterized by its high-contrast foliage, White Lava displays large, mature leaves marked by broad sectors and streaks of white dispersed across a deep green background. The variegation pattern often presents as irregular brush-like sweeps or concentrated patches, giving each leaf an individual appearance.
The leaf blades are thick and glossy, with pronounced fenestration developing as the plant matures. Petioles are typically light green, sometimes displaying faint variegated striations.
This form is maintained primarily for its visual characteristics—particularly the crisp white patterning that provides a clear differentiation from other M. deliciosa variegates such as Albo or Thai Constellation.

Monstera Genus
Monstera Genus
Monstera is a genus within the Araceae family, encompassing approximately 50+ species of flowering plants native to the tropical regions of the Americas. These plants are well-regarded for their distinctive foliage, characterized by large, leathery leaves that often feature natural holes or fenestrations. These leaf openings, a unique adaptation to their rainforest habitat, allow light to penetrate to the lower leaves and reduce the energy required for leaf maintenance.
Monstera plants typically exhibit a climbing growth pattern, utilizing aerial roots to anchor themselves to trees or other supports. This genus includes both terrestrial and epiphytic species, with some capable of reaching impressive heights of up to 20 meters (66 feet) in their natural environments.
Caring for Monstera involves replicating their natural tropical conditions as closely as possible. They thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light, though this may lead to leggier growth.
Monstera plants prefer slightly moist soil and should be watered when the top 2 to 4 inches of soil are dry. Given their epiphytic nature, they do not tolerate soggy conditions, so a well-draining potting mix is essential. Ideal temperatures for Monstera range from 70 to 90°F (21 to 32°C), providing a warm and humid environment that encourages healthy development.
