About this plant
Monstera Adansonii Care Guide (Swiss Cheese Vine, Light to Propagation)
Care notes by Nick AlanA collector's climbing monstera with bright golden-yellow leaves. The Monstera deliciosa 'Super Gold' (also sold as Super Golden) stands out from every green plant on the shelf. This young plant has heart-shaped golden leaves and develops the classic splits and holes as it matures. Here is how to look after a Super Gold monstera.
Why you'll like it
Gold-leaved monsteras are sought after because the color is so unusual. You get a rare-looking plant at a size that is easy to settle in, and you can train it up a moss pole as it grows into a statement plant.
What you get
A live Monstera 'Super Gold' in a 4" grower's nursery pot. Each plant is young, so leaf shape and color will vary.
. Use a chunky, airy mix, keep it warm and add a moss pole as it begins to climb.What is Monstera Super Golden?
It is a gold-leaved form of Monstera deliciosa. The new leaves come in bright golden-yellow instead of the usual green.
Is a golden monstera rare?
It is less common than the standard green monstera and sought after by collectors for its color.
Will the leaves get splits and holes?
Yes. Young leaves are heart-shaped, and the plant develops its classic splits and holes as it matures, especially with bright light and a pole to climb.
Why are the new leaves turning greener?
Lower light can push new growth greener. Bright indirect light helps keep the golden color.
