Variegated monstera seeds? You can’t. Other seeds are better off bought from garden centres (they usually have websites)

thank you

You can’t grow variegated monstera from seed, otherwise we’d all be doing it!

I can’t find any info on this, but I’m pretty sure the seeds won’t be viable if it produces them at all. The fruit is apparently variegated though!

Thanks for the info! I can’t find many house plant seeds in my local garden centres, but there are a few, so I should really have a go.

In order to get variegated seed, the pod parent must be variegated and only the berries with variegation will carry variegayion. Some will grow out to be pure white/yellow but those generally don’t survive for long.

The variegation is unpredictable but is pretty stable on the plant. Like half moon plants will continue to throw half moon leaves although that half moon may shift. Pups from those plants can also be half moons, but only if the new new growth starts at the base of the division line of the the half moon of the parent plant.

So, generally speaking. The pod parent should be highly variegated with fine lines, which makes them quite unattractive, but those will be the best pod parents. So you can’t really breed for a specific variegation, except for Light of Buddha types, but you can increase your chances getting a some good patterns.

Each propagation is also generally different. So generally you would just cut and throw out any undesirable pups.

You definitely can’t guarantee you’ll get delicious seeds, but there’s a decent chance you’d get one out of 1000 seeds! Sorry, I can’t recommend anyone, because all the sellers I’ve seen in the UK don’t look legit. I’ll keep my eyes open for some though, and add any decent sellers to the article.
