Monstera 'Borsigiana Albo'

Progress (my photos)

Risks & warnings

• Reversion or fully white leaves (die without chlorophyll) — keep the balance with pruning
• White sectors burn in direct sun and easily dry out/turn black
• Gel residue on the roots → mold/rot
• TC plantlets are fragile — losses during acclimatization are normal

Care notes

• •TC plantlet in gel (gellan gum) — not a finished plant, needs acclimatization
• •Borsigiana Albo — a compact/fast form of the same albo as Monstera albo variegata
• •Deflasking — carefully remove it and wash all the gel off the roots with warm RO water (leftovers = mold/rot)
• •Mini-greenhouse for 2-4 weeks with high humidity, then gradually open (harden off)
• •NO fertilizers for the first 3-4 weeks, then ¼ dose (canister V, low N)
• •Bright diffused light, no direct sun on the white areas
• •After 2-3 new leaves — move to the adult airy mix for variegated aroids
