All versions of the Variegated Monstera (Monstera variegata) come from the Genus of Monstera. And they either come from the species borsigiana OR deliciosa. To be Variegated Monstera, there must be albino portions of the leaf.
Monstera 'Albo' borsigiana:
WHITE VARIEGATION
PRICE : [ $ $ $ ]
Albo Monstera is the Classical Variegated Monstera (aka Monstera Variegata). When you hear someone say, 'Albo' they are referring to this one!
It can have different patterns such as Marbled, Sectoral, or Sport.
Marbled:
Marbled variegation is a blend of white and green parts which makes for one of the most sought after colorings!
Sectoral:
Discrete lines through the leaves leads to sections being completely white, or completely green.
Sport:
Variegation in Albos can decrease with subsequent leaves beyond the stem. We call this 'Sport' variegation when an Albino plant begins putting out mostly green leaves with low variegation.

LOOK AT THE STEM!
The stem of each plant contains the genetics of the plant. If you are wondering what the leaves will look like, Look at the Stem!
- Marbling in the stem will lead to marbling in the leaves!
- Sectoral patterns in the stem will typically lead to chunks of Albino parts in the leaf!
- An all green stem may lead to a Monstera Sport (green leafed plant).
The Albino Parts WILL Brown!
