Monstera Tricolor Mint Price and Care Tips

The price of Monstera Mint Tricolor before is P100,000 for only one leaf, now you can but 2 to 3 leaves for only P40,000. By the end of the year the price might drop to P5,000 to P10,000 for a plnat. To maintain a good variegaton you need to place the plant in a high humid and bright indirect sunlight. Use thermocote fertilizer as it is excellent for variegated plants. 

Thermocote is a temperature controlled release plant food specially formulated for variegated plants. It is released only when it’s optimal for plants to take in nutrients for fast growth & development.
Thermocote helps keep plant variegation and may help bring back variegation of reverted plants.

Here’s an example. My Florida Beauty sprouted a reverted leaf. Thankfully, variegation came back after use of Thermocote!

Usage:
5grams for every liter of your favorite media. Apply once every 5 months.
Recommendation:

Put Thermocote in a basket or put on one side of the pot. Wet it when watering your plants.

Use coco coir fiber as a medium. 

What are Coco Coir Fibers?Coco coir fibers are a natural cellulose fiber obtained from the coconut husk. After separating the shell and the coco coir, an additional process is done to separate the fibers from the coco peat dusts. Normally in coconut farming, the farmers focus on the coconut milk and meat of the fruit. the husks are discarded as waste, and laid out in the open to decompose. By using coconut husk by-products in gardening, a waste product is converted into an eco-friendly and sustainable product which generates an additional source of income for the local farmers.

Uses of Coco Coir FibersCoco Coir Fibers are normally used in brushes, mattresses, upholstery, door mats, rope, nets, insulation and more. In horticulture, it is an excellent amendment to potting media and a more sustainable alternative to peat moss. It promotes aeration and drainage, while it also retains moisture longer than other soil media like pumice, perlite and pine barks.Aged coco coir fibers are more pH balanced than fresh coco coir. Typically, they have a natural pH ranging from 5.2 to 6.8, which is an ideal or acceptable range for most plants.
