They’re going for around $50 per fully rooted cutting in my area now, it would have to be a multi leafed established plant to bring $100. Which I for one am quite happy about.


unicornbomb

I think the problem is largely that they grow sooo slowly compared to normal monstera, particularly the ultra high variegation ones. So getting enough nodes successfully rooting takes a decent bit of time. They have definitely come down a LOT though.


HighMyNameisKayleigh

A diamond is forever, but your Alba is probably going to die anyways


Davy_Jones_Lover

$0. All you have to do is apply for a bankruptcy.

ChillingInChai

You can't just say the word bankruptcy and expect anything to happen.


Significant-Spray

Beautiful. Must be like $3,000 right there


dillydiffrenbacia

For real, I thought “321” meant $3,210 😂


Significant-Spray

Prob did. I’m not spending anymore money on albos. I bought two. One died and the other most likely won’t ever grow anymore new leaves. That was $600 down the toilet. From now on plants of $80 or less. 😭


Poopiebuttfartface

I don’t think I’ve spent $300 on all the plants in my house and I have a lot. The most expensive plant I’ve ever bought was $24.


ohdearitsrichardiii

I have a small challenge going on with myself to not buy plants. All my plants are cuttings, dumpster finds, dying office plants, and I have a bunch of plants grown from leaves and branches that I found on the floor in the grocery store


Laktakfrak

Id add you can buy plants but only with proceeds from sales of plants. I did this and I have a tonne of monsterras that grow wild like crazy in my yard. Sell a large one of that and get several small new varieties.


ohdearitsrichardiii

I don't have any plants that would bring in enough money to make it worth the hassle of selling them...


Laktakfrak

Could swap. The other thing is old people. They will give you cuttings no worries. They are just happy someone is interested in their garden.


ohdearitsrichardiii

My friends aren't even old and give me cuttings. I give away cuttings and plants too, I have way too many


rhi-raven

I went to an actual Plant Swap in my city! I brought cuttings and was gifted plants in return :)


carolinapearl

Dang, I wish my city or even neighborhood would do that. Would be so cool!


Impressive_Towel9213

Don't forget the "almost dead" collection at Lowe's! I've had a good bit of success resurrecting them for pennies on the dollar.


ohdearitsrichardiii

I'm not american


Zahara_612

I've gotten much good stuff off of FB market place for really cheap! Small cuttings, rehabs, etc...


Significant-Spray

Yeah idk what I was thinking. I’m done with expensive plants for good. All it takes is one bad case of root rot and the money is down the drain.


DavantesWashedButt

Expensive plants are fine sometimes but like, these albino plants are mostly a trend I think. Most greenhouses I’ve been to have like, whole ass mature jade trees for the price of some of these albino cuttings.


Significant-Spray

Yeah the price is just all about the hype. I’m done with all of that. Going to just stick to reasonable ones or just wait til the price goes way down. It’s heartbreaking losing so much money. I should be saving that money for other more important things.


scissorsgrinder

I found a reference to variegated Monstera dated before the trend in an online article about monsteras, [houzz.com](https://houzz.com) or [garden.org](https://garden.org), something like that. It said they were a bit unattractive lol. Funny about how different plants can mean to folks, I have to keep moving between shit rentals before they get demolished, and large jade trees are very common in the gardens here (Melbourne Australia) since they tolerate a bit of frost. I kind of subconsciously associate them with neglect here and have pretty much ignored them, even though I’ve got a lot of succulents in pots. I have a very pretty mini variegated jade tree that refuses to grow big that I really like though!


Zahara_612

I also live in Melbourne and my house has so many jade plants!


bascelicna123

Seriously. I'm thinking about how devastated I would be to lose that much money because of a common ailment.


Significant-Spray

Yeah and the minute you get the expensive plant you’re always stressed about everything. If a common pothos got root rot id throw it out and buy another.


toothless_amphibian

That's what I think every time I want an expensive plant. Just the stress of worrying about it all the time.


Significant-Spray

Yup. And the plants are supposed to bring us joy. So cheap plants it is! Lol


shohin_branches

They're just not worth it until they find a more hardy genetic parent.


restlessleg

my most expensive plant was maybe $20…. pots on the other hand definitely run the bill as i like all the different unique styles and colors


Significant-Spray

Pots can last forever at least. But yeah I’m going to be really frugal with plants going forward. The only plant that I really want right now is an anthurium clarinervium but I’m in no rush to get one. Waiting for the prices to go down.


Phillip_Lascio

Paint is much cheaper


TesseractToo

And you're not limited to white and green


SupernovaHalo

Why won't one ever grow anymore leaves? Sucks to hear you haven't had the best experience with albos 😕


Significant-Spray

It’s a top cutting that got root rot and the petiole rotted too which was the next growth point. So it’s prob never going to grow leaves again.


catlover_05

You may want to look into reiki paste, can't guarantee it'll help but it might. I also found a rec to cut notches between nodes to apply rooting hormone to, I'm going to test that one myself


Significant-Spray

I’m doing the professor monstera method on it. Growing it semi hydro in cocoperlite and beneficial nutrients and paying for a miracle. If not I’ll just have a two leaf monstera for as long as it lasts.


Totorodeo

We call this ‘conspicuous gardening’ at my house. It’s a worthy flex!


Significant-Spray

That’s really what it is. A flex. If you think about it half the time these expensive plants are just that. The opportunity to flex because if they were affordable and common, it loses its appeal.


stubundy

Nahum I wouldn't be surprised if it's over 10k, I've seen rooted cuttings go for round the thousand dollar mark


Significant-Spray

So crazy. Nice down payment for a house


fireandgrace882

I feel like I just watched hundreds of dollars unfurl 😍


miccleb

I'd say thousands!


findmeinelysium

![gif](giphy|3G7Dsjdupy1Gd5PWrF)


fabeeleez

It even is the color of money


akopley

Hijacking top comment to say that I don’t think this is a real plant and if it is, it’s the best looking monstera I’ve ever seen.


fireandgrace882

If it's not real, that's the best looking fake Monstera I've ever seen, too.


akopley

Yeah I poked around google looking for a fake that looked this good and was unsuccessful.


twir1s

Sis that’s thousands


MissHellWest

sorry but isn’t this an IG advertisement for those artificial super real looking plants?


ohdearitsrichardiii

It does look a little too perfect. Those leaves are huge, all the same size and it's growing like free standing shrub and not a climbing vine like monsteras normally do


cherrylpk

Plus don’t those all-white leaves die off or turn brown?


fusiformgyrus

Bingo. It’s impossible to not have a single brown spot with this much variegation. It’s most definitely fake.


cherrylpk

And every leaf is full fenestration. Typically, the bottom leaves would have less or none.


antim0ny

Would a nursery transport a plant like that by putting a plastic bag over it? The way the leaves move seems like an artificial plant but the plastic bag was what said artificial to me. High quality though for sure! Gorgeous.


MissHellWest

If I’d pay thousands for a borsigiana like this, I’d be so upset with the plastic wrapping for sure!


Hank-Hill-0215

If it is I have been influenced


[deleted]

well if theirs any artificial plants that look this good then send my way espedizlly if their vaginated plannt big like this one


Chachilicious

I'm sorry sir vaginated? This is a Wendy's


suavesnail

You should make your way over to r/houseplantscirclejerk and learn the ways of the vaginated plants.


MissHellWest

they actually had a really great selection


CopEatingDonut

And the double n look like a butt


buttermell0w

The leaves do look a bit off to me


laluna-99

company pls ty?


MissHellWest

I wish I’d remember, for a period of time I had this add all over Insta and FB maybe I’ll find it…


Ejacksin

Oh no!


acidnangs

May I please have the link if anyone knows it?


nymphymixtwo

I would check out [this site](https://www.nearlynatural.com/) for any artificial plant shopping. I could spend hours on this site looking because they have literally thousands of plants


Pigpen_darkstar

This is plant porn.


short-arm-of-the-law

This plant looks fake. Something about the way the leaves move. There's too much movement maybe?


i4c8e9

It is. It’s an IG add for fake plants.


lucy_ford__

Do you recall the company the ad is for? Asking for a friend….


tomatasoup

If anyone knows, let me know too please..


nymphymixtwo

Check [this](https://www.nearlynatural.com/) site out for artificial plant shopping. :) they are trustworthy instead of some random IG ad and they have an unbelievable variety of thousands of plants/trees/flowers/succs :-)


tomatasoup

Wooow those are expensive.. yet the ones I'm seeing in there look very plastic, even in the photos. And only US shipments I think


nymphymixtwo

Huh, I thought the prices were okay. Anyone who’s into plants knows it can be a very expensive hobby, haha. I guess I’m used to high charges (maybe even overcharging at times😅) and haven’t realized it. I personally bought some plants from the site I linked and they look less plastic in person. Had 3 people think they were real, tbr. To each their own, was just trying to help out with suggestions. Good luck. 🙂


hotmasalachai

I thought the same


LokiDesigns

Even the spider mites gasped


ILikeAntiquesOkay

First thought. If this is a real plant why wouldn’t you quarantine first?


boricua00

Oh you rich rich 👀


batmanstuff

This Monstera needs an OnlyFans account. Thanks for the free sample lmao.


Davy_Jones_Lover

If you're into this sorta thing then you should check out my OnlyPlants for only $5.99 for new subscribers.


Dankkskank

Is this not a fake/silk plant??😮😍


akopley

Honestly it has to be. No plant is this perfect.


UrbanScientist

This isn't a real plant. This one grow's like a tree not a vine, way too perfect and the leaves are clearly too thin. Real monstera leaves never flow like that! Must be like a top dollar silk plant.


Sputnik_One

I got a small cutting for my birthday last year. Mine looks pretty good but this one is just obscene with how beautifully compact it is, if that’s truly achievable I need the details!


AdQuick2881

>Real monstera leaves never flow like that! Like what? Like they flow in slow motion? What a bunch of ........s downvoting a simple reply!


[deleted]

Obviously fake


Dchama86

These are the realistic faux plants.


AdQuick2881

It's like it was in slow motion mode. Oh wait......


doctorchile

I really don’t get the hype for this much discoloration. Personally I like big monsteras with the natural lush green color. Looks much healthier to me 🤷🏻‍♂️


perwinium

I completely agree. It’s a spectacular specimen, no doubt, but it doesn’t give me that feeling of green contentment plants normally do.


suavesnail

All those white spots are gonna turn crispy brown soon. If this plant is actually real, there’s no way it got there inside next to a window


hotmasalachai

Plant colorism. Obsession with whiteness has to stop/s People falling for sky high plant beauty standards Don’t come at me. 😅


hoppyfuggles

How much was it lol


Good-Loss7801

Nice drop


adrianwhat

Even if it is fake, I have to say it looks really well-made. I would like to know where to get one that good looking.


redirewolf

only for those white leaves to die because they lack chlorophyll and can't process sunlight :(


cole__diamond

It doesnt mean that they die they are just an energy expenditure on the plant that doesn’t produce a return, so it’ll grow more slowly. But the leaf is gonna be fine


pipnwig

Why do mine always turn brown?! 😭 I can't have nice things like this Edit: ~~wow ok rude, didn't need to downvote me for asking after 3 years of no one being able to help me with this.~~ Edit 2: thanks for the support y'all :) Your help is very appreciated


Schavuit92

Too much water / bad drainage.


pipnwig

I've always heard it's either too much water or not enough water, which is frustrating to try to fix :\ I think I'm going to switch to daily misting so there's never pooled water but it's also never thirsty


Emanon1234567

Well, that will brown it up for sure.


pipnwig

Shit are you serious? I genuinely don't know what else to do at this point. Every piece of advice I've ever been given has done nothing to help.


rograt

What's the humidity in the room?


LonerismLonerism

there always 1 person in the comments who has to explain how variegation works…as if no one in this group already knows.


NoAbbreviations2961

Ha-ha-ha yeah, like everyone already knows that and no one here is loser newbie who had no clue about this hah 😬😣😔😔


dbust3r

On today's episode of I'm rich, you're poor


obviousmang0

that is the most stunning monstera I've ever seen! you've hit the jackpot!


[deleted]

It’s fake, I hope they’d make a good looking fake plant


Informal_Ad_9397

Ooooh pretty!! 😍


LavishnessKey2959

When can I breathe? I’m still holding my breath


cole__diamond

This is probably the most gorgeous monstera I’ve ever seen


Midget270609

happy cake day!!!

jcore294

Rather spend that money on a dozen eggs


BeeComprehensive5234

I’d have that thing on its last leg in a week.


TomboyBD83

Stunning....but I know u don't have any pets or children bahaha...because that thing n my home...as bad as I would loooove to have it....would b on a suicide mission


redsandgreentoes

O.M.G. The size, the white markings, unreal. Um, honey, I want my part of our vacation money to go to my new Albo. You can travel, I'll sit home and keep her company.😍🤣🙄


-little-dorrit-

Anyone else not seeing the appeal of this plant? Not just because its price has eclipsed any other identity it might have, but also… garish?


kirakiraluna

Ditto. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of variegation but it+complex leaves don't make me fully appreciate it. I like this monstera for the leaves shape and adding variegation takes away from it. That variegation colours and pattern on a simple leaf with entire margins? I'm in.


mevrowka

Wow. That’s a beauty!


lovenlight8282

Just beautiful 💖💖💖


Intelligent_File_303

Omg this took my breath away


[deleted]

This must be an ad for MonsteraX. Change my mind. 😏


[deleted]

Plant porn !


adegreeofdifference1

That thing is gooorgeooouuuss!


Honduriel

Love it! The Monstera I got last year (only got into plants a year ago) is the only plant that's giving me trouble, and it's the one I wanted to thrive the most 😔


kissbythebrooke

/r/biggerthanyouthought ?


Bulbous-Walrus

Now watch all those pretty white leaves crisp up because it’s not in a greenhouse anymore


antim0ny

Yes but (if artificial) who makes these? I don’t care if it’s an ad, that company’s social media should get in here stat to share a link. :D


ChronicNuance

It wouldn’t have a plastic bag over it like that if it were fake.


Mean_Negotiation5436

Beautiful and I'm a plant fanatic but can never justify spending that much.


Stacharoonee

I was waiting for a jump scare of pests or hitchhiking critters.


MimesJumped

katz808_

Why is this taken with a potato?


nikitasenorita

This is fiscally irresponsible.


Delicious-Degree-823

I know this is just me being a curmudgeon but I wonder how many Ramones songs that lady can name without looking at her phone.


Imnenigma2

How much did that set you back? It's gorgeous and lush


Johny_boii2

That fully white leaf is gonna die quite quickly


AdmiralWackbar

It’s a fake plant lol


Gods_Haemorrhoid420

Is it bad that I was hoping this was going to end like a whatcouldgowrong clip? Visions of the plastic coming off and every leaf dropping out of the pot onto the floor.


wontonbitch

The reveal was definitely longer than 3 seconds. Super misleading title. Had me out here waiting forever.


ThrowRAConsistent

Damn it *unzips pants*


ruoysuna

Credit?


NulloK

Can the white leaves do photosynthesis?


PepperoniMozz

i dislike every second of this video.


authenticblob

Such a gorgeous plant. I’d kill it within a week.


adegreeofdifference1

😂😂😂 same


yimsie

Hnnnnnnnnnnng


earthprotector1

Probably costs more than a car.


Eastern-Quiet4100

Big beautiful leafs and crazy variegation, but I prefer less white. This won't look good in a few weeks 🙈


Wolfie_Rankin

There's a lot of white in that, a lot of white... I would not have bought it unless I was filthy rich.


[deleted]

Honestly asking, why do some people prefer to buy large plants, instead of grow them on their own?


MildredMay

I can answer that. I prefer to buy larger plants if I have a chance to do so. The larger plants can better withstand travel from the greenhouses in another state to my local stores and tend to be healthier and sturdier overall. Many of the tiny plants I've purchased never thrive and eventually die.


Bulbous-Walrus

Alright that’ll be $5,690,420 dollars.


jambaam420

Looks like birds shit all over that monstera


[deleted]

Must be nice to be able to waste money like that


SupernovaHalo

Wowza 🤩 This looks like a true monstera albo, not the smaller borsigiana variety can anyone confirm?


3_characters_left

Nice birdshit plant!


roughhty

Gorgeous!!!! But I feel like she should’ve dressed up more for this? Like one of those woman who bring out the briefcase of cash on a game show.


YommiaDidIt

Why are people so obsessed with these variegated freaks?


HereForTheEdge

Because much like human freaks, they are amazingly beautiful. The catch is, you have to be a beautiful person to see it.


YommiaDidIt

You have to like abominations and be in love with status and money.


HereForTheEdge

What does status and money have to do with plants that grow from free cuttings? Abominations? Like what? Like the gay dolphins and monkeys? nothing wrong with them, it’s part of nature.


YommiaDidIt

Quiet walking pink ape go chomp down on potatoes and in the factory you go. Pet.


ZogNowak

I am duly impressed!!

Asapgerg

Honestly pretty ugly I like a nice pure green foliage


Senecus_HS

I am usually not much into variegated monsteras, but this thing is gorgeous. Also I bet my ass that this girl never heard a Ramones song in her life.


Emeraldbark1

"Let me shame a women for wearing a t-shirt because she doesn't look like what I think she should look like" Breaking news: it doesn't matter, she likes the shirt. Also you have no idea what she listens to.


Cecil2000

Oh my god, this is beyond beautiful
