Monstera Cobra

Monstera Standleyana, Monstera Standleyana ‘Albo Variegata’, Philodendron Cobra, Philodendron Standleyana

The Monstera Cobra is a rare and eye-catching aroid known for its stunning cream-and-green marbled foliage. Each elongated, glossy leaf is uniquely patterned, making every plant a one-of-a-kind living work of art. This variety retains its striking coloration year-round when given proper lighting, instantly elevating any plant collection.

As a vining and climbing plant, Monstera Cobra is perfect for training on a moss pole, trellis, or other support, allowing its patterned leaves to cascade or climb for dramatic display. It’s equally impressive in a hanging basket where its vines can trail gracefully.

Adaptable yet rewarding, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a supportive growing environment. With proper care, it will reward you with lush growth and continuously changing leaf patterns, making it a true conversation piece in your home.

Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation; avoid direct sun to prevent scorching.
Soil Needs: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat to encourage healthy roots.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; ensure excess water drains to avoid root rot.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+); mist regularly or place near a humidifier for optimal growth.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim back leggy vines and remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, refreshing the soil to promote continued vigor.

Please note: This plant comes in its grower’s nursery pot, ready for you to place in your favorite decorative pot at home. The pot in the picture is not included.
