Just picked up a Yellow Marilyn. Couldn’t find it here when I tried to add it to my plants. Does anyone else here have one? Is it under a different name?

what now way! i thought that was a swiss cheese plant but then i looked it up, what’s the difference?

#### Gaileen Joy replied on 2025-06-05

Swiss Cheese Plant is used as a common name for both Monstera Deliciosa and Monstera Adansonii. Yellow Marilyn is a cultivar that throws bright yellow variegation in the leaves.

I put mine in as an aurea and put my custom name as yellow Marilyn. Or if you want to match set yours as a large form cultivar, you could do Thai con as the substitute instead

Beautiful color by the way! 😍 Mine is still tiny, growing from TC. I’m ooking forward to it growing bigger ☺️

Thanks for the suggestion! I already have a Thai Con in my plants, so I’ll use aurea. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks! I just won this beauty at a live auction of one of my favorite sellers. TONS of gorgeous, unusual plants. I may or may not have gone a bit overboard. 😜😊

Amazing!! 🤩 I totally do that too lol. It feels wrong to only order on plant! And if I’m going to spend dish out for plant shipping, I’ might as well fill the box 🤣 Does the math fit the logic? Probably not lol, but the plant unboxing is always like Christmas hehe

Exactly! I LOVE your logic. 🥰
