Can Monstera Variegata and regular Monstera live in the same pot?

| I'm thinking to combine the two, for a visual effect. Will the regular one overpower the variegated? Just wondering if it's a good idea. |

| They could live together but in the end, you would have to get a humongous pot because both are extemely large plants. Susan |

| Heh... that's not a problem - that's the end goal. :-) I've seen an absolutely huge Monstera in a university prof's office, in a not-so-big pot, too, and I'd love to have one like that. My concern is - would the regular Monstera eventually edge out the wimpier variegated one? |

| Oh, I see what you mean and you have a point there. There are a lot of people here that have monsteras so someone will jump in to help you. Good Luck! They're lovely plants. Susan |

| Most likely the plain green monstera would grow faster than the variegated one. Maybe you could prune it to keep it in control. |

| They would most likely be fine together, Get something very strong for them to climb up because once they get big they're very heavy. |
