Frosted, refined, and highly collectible — Monstera Deliciosa ‘Sphinx Mint’ is recognised for its distinctive mint-toned variegation, combining creamy pale areas with fine green speckling to create a beautifully layered appearance.

Rather than the sharp contrast of traditional white-variegated Monsteras, Sphinx Mint produces a softer, almost washed or frosted effect across the foliage. Mint, cream and varying shades of green blend through each leaf, creating intricate patterning that gives the plant its characteristic Sphinx Mint appearance.

As the plant matures, its foliage becomes increasingly large and fenestrated, giving the fine mint patterning and contrasting green tones more space to develop. Each leaf can carry its own balance of speckling, marbling and lighter sections, making mature specimens particularly striking.

✨ Tissue Culture Acclimation

Tissue culture plantlets require careful acclimation after being removed from their sealed growing environment.

For the best chance of success:

• Carefully remove the plantlet from the bag or flask.
• Thoroughly rinse all agar from the roots and foliage.
• Sterilise and treat the plantlet by following the supplied NPG Tissue Culture Acclimation Protocol.
• Apply rooting hormone where recommended.
• Plant into a clean, sterile and moisture-retentive acclimation medium.
• Keep the plantlet inside a humidity dome with warm, stable temperatures and high humidity.
• Begin under low to moderate indirect light.
• Avoid intense grow lights or direct sunlight during the first few weeks.
• Gradually increase airflow and light while slowly reducing humidity as the plantlet establishes.

Every order includes an NPG Tissue Culture Acclimation Pack and access to our detailed NPG Tissue Culture Acclimation Protocol.

Stability is more important than intensity during the first few weeks.

Avoid repeatedly changing the plantlet’s humidity, temperature, lighting or growing medium. Give it time to recover from deflasking, establish new roots and gradually adapt to normal growing conditions.

Tissue culture plantlets are young, living plants, and some loss is always possible during acclimation. Please ensure you are comfortable with the process and have an appropriate growing environment before purchasing.

✨ Quick Care Tips:

💧 Water: Once established, keep evenly moist and allow the top layer of substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid prolonged saturation.

☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light supports strong growth and good mint expression. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, particularly while new foliage is hardening.

🌫 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity for healthy foliage and consistent growth.

🌡 Temps: Thrives between 18–29 °C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

🪴 Soil: Once fully acclimated, performs exceptionally well in our NPG Aroid Formula, providing the ideal balance of airflow, moisture retention and structure to support strong root development. Alternatively, use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite and coco.

🌱 NPG Tip:

Provide sturdy vertical support once your Sphinx Mint is established. Encouraging it to climb will promote larger leaves and increasingly mature fenestration, allowing its fine mint speckling and frosted variegation to make an even greater impact.

Stable light, warmth and consistent growing conditions will help support strong growth while the plant develops its mature character.
