Monstera adansonii 'Albo Variegata'

Monstera adansonii, the Adanson's monstera, Swiss cheese plant, or five holes plant, is a species of flowering plant from family Araceae which is widespread across much of South America and Central America. Monstera adansonii is classified as a hemi-epiphyte vine and can be found in tropical forest with hot and high humidity conditions. Other regions this plant may be found in are the West Indies, Antigua, Grenada, Saba, St. Kitts, Guadeloupe, Marie Galante, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Tobago, and Trinidad. Currently, there are three recognized subspecies of Monstera adansonii, the M. adansonii subsp. blanchetii, M. adansonii subsp. klotzschiana and M. praetermissa.species. A fourth subspecies has been proposed recently, the M. adansonii subsp. laniatais, distinguishable by the number of leaf fenestrations and the angle of the fenestrations. The species are quite common near river valleys at lower elevations. The common name "Swiss cheese plant" is also used for the closely related species Monstera deliciosa.
