If I’m interested in getting a monstera plant, should I get the whole plant, or the node, because I’ve seen that getting singular nodes are less expensive, but I’m not sure how to plant it and make it grow.

A small common monstera is not that expensive. A variegated Thai Constellation is very expensive. It depends on the variety you seek. A common monstera is in the photo.

I got a tissue culture small Thai constellation and a variegated albo monstera node. I am enjoying watching them develop. Satisfying

I got my monstera at my local Lowes.  
They should be getting in new plants.  
Honestly just hit all your local stores. The Lowes I found it at is 30 minutes from my house. But she was worth it.

Ok thanks

Try Craigslist or Facebook marketplace too if you’re just looking for a simple monstera. You might have luck there.

Ok I’ll check that out too

Watch Costco in the spring they get them for cheap!! Or buy from Lowe’s or Home Depot! You can get them for like $30
