If plants are your passion, you might know what is monstera variegata
plant. Instagram got crazy about it – there are hundreds of photos with
monstera leaves that are all white or partially white. It is a natural
phenomenon, something like albinism for people. Variegation phenomenon can be
caused by a virus infection or by genetics. Plants that are affected by this “albinism”
need more sun and they are more moody than normal green ones.
Variegated monstera plants are quite rare and that is why its’
cost is really high. Not everybody can afford to buy it – for example in
Poland, the cost of a little monstera variegata cutting is about 350 PLN!
Fortunately, the variegation phenomenon doesn’t belong only
to monstera plants. There are many others species that can have their leaves
partially white. Today I would love to share with you some photos of the most
beautiful variegated plants.

Growing such a plant must be a real challenge! Unfortunately, I can't even cherish a cactus...
