# I need help deciding which Monstera Albo to choose! I’m about to…

I need help deciding which Monstera Albo to choose!

I’m about to purchase a Monstera Albo from a local grower, but I’m not sure which one would be the best investment.

I’m partial to the first one because the grower mentioned that it’s one of his fav, but the second one looks beautiful as well and I’m torn.

Idk lmk which one you would choose! 💚🤍🪴

I prefer the one on the left … the 6” 🤩

I’d go for the first one too! They’re both gorgeous but I’m always gonna go for more variegation if there’s the option. Good luck with whichever one you go with!

### Lindsay commented on 2024-07-20

6” left!

### Mullein commented on 2024-07-20

I’d expect that 6” one to be the more expensive one. Looks like a win win to me with higher variegation at a slightly lower price! I might have a tiny smidgen of concern that it could start going too white, but honestly it doesn’t seem that likely based on the other leaves. If you can ask for a picture of the stem nodes, I like to do that to get even more visual information about the plant

Enjoy your purchase! Such an exciting addition to a collection

Definitely 6, the first one!

### Ashlee commented on 2024-07-21

I did it y’all! Thanks for your advice. It gave me that push I needed. I’m so excited for my new baby! I’ll post more pics once it’s been delivered. 💚🤍🪴

Yes we wanna see pics once it’s made it’s way home!! 😆🌿

Definitely left. It’s going to need a LOT of light to keep the variegation healthy. Good luck!
