Sow the Monstera deliciosa seeds on the surface of the compost and sprinkle a light covering of compost or vermiculite over the seeds.
Cover the tray or pots with a sheet of polythene or glass to keep the compost moist and place it in a warm place.
Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged and in a shaded position.
Germination takes around 2-4 weeks.
Once germinated, remove cover and grow on in cooler conditions but not in direct sunlight.
Once they are large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots.
Gradually acclimatize them to indoor conditions before moving it to its final spot.

Also, it is sensitive to over-watering, it is important to avoid soggy soil and to let the soil dry out a bit before watering again.

The chances of sprouting a variegated Monstera deliciosa from seed are relatively low, as variegation is a genetic trait that is not always passed on to the offspring. Variegation is caused by a genetic mutation that results in a lack of chlorophyll pigmentation in certain areas of the leaves, giving them a unique color pattern. These mutations are not always stable and can be lost in subsequent generations, meaning that a variegated Monstera deliciosa plant may not produce variegated seeds.

Additionally, variegation can also be caused by a virus or other environmental factors, which will not be passed down to the offspring.

That being said, it is possible to get a variegated monstera from seed, but it is considered a rare occurrence. Some growers have had success growing variegated Monstera from seed, but it is not guaranteed and the chances of it happening are low.

It is important to note that variegated Monstera deliciosa plants are highly sought after and are considered to be rare and unique, and as such they can be quite expensive, some growers and sellers propagate them through tissue culture which is a method that ensures that the variegation is passed down to the offspring.
