Hi, it’s a Monstera Borsigiana Albo. A smaller version of the Deliciosa. Purchased the 2 leaf top cut in 2021. Gave up my right arm and a kidney… lol  
Pushed out a leaf (2nd pic) and thrips got to it. Had no idea what thrips was at that time. Managed to get a new plant from what was left of the stem. It started reverting. Since 2023 I’ve been cutting it trying to get the variegation back. I’ve cut and given away and over 30 plants in that time. From very no to very low variegation, one sided sectoral variegation. Nothing stable yet. I cut 3 plants in March and April gave a few away and here’s what’s left. Pics 3 and on

It’s weird, variegation is only one sided. I have others that are variegated on the other side. Can’t get both sides…

😱 wow! What a wild ride, huh!?

#### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-07-04

That is very interesting…maybe someone will like that unique style? I think it’s kinda neat…

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-07-04

This was one of very few that had both sides. And yes it looks very unique when it’s one sided with sectoral variegation.
