On the other hand if a Monstera receives too little light exposure it wont create enough chlorophyll to keep its leaves green and glossy and they will turn a pale yellow.

Namely while a Monstera can survive in a low-light environment it wont thrive. When the temperature within the home is outside an optimum range you may notice stunted growth and sometimes the withering of the vines. The main difference between variegated Monstera and Monstera deliciosa is the white portion of the variegated Monstera leaves cannot absorb light so the plant needs to work twice as hard to photosynthesize. If the edges of your monstera turn a light brown color and get crispy your plant might be thirsty.
