Monstera Standleyana Albo Cobra Monstera

Rare, striking, and entirely its own.

The Monstera Standleyana Albo — known in collector circles as the Cobra — is one of the most sought-after variegated aroids in the plant world, and one look explains exactly why. Its long, lance-shaped leaves are splashed and streaked with irregular white and cream variegation against a deep, lustrous green — each leaf an unrepeatable composition. A vining climber by nature, it reaches and trails with elegant intent, rewarding a moss pole or trellis with increasingly dramatic foliage.

A true collector's piece. Not a plant you stumble upon — one you seek out.
