Hi! I was hoping for some input on the monstera Thai con I picked! (bought for $60) In the store there were two monsteras I was torn between: 1. *the one I bought* Had a LOT of white on two big stems (both stems were 1/2 green, 1/2 full white) BUT the leaves weren’t asssss white as the second one. Also had fenestrations but some of the leaves there were only fenestrations on one side of the leaf. Zero inner fenestrations, only outer. 2. *did NOT buy* Had all green stems (except for a little bit of white speckling) however the leaves seemed to have more white on them (leaves were also bigger so could’ve *seemed* like more white simply due to larger surface area). Had nice inner and outer fenestrations and were a bit bigger. I included close up images of the one I picked plus a side by side of the two plant options (one I did NOT buy is Xed out) I would love my plans to have a lot of white parts (of course) but also be nice with inner & outer fenestrations. Did I make the correct choice (the 1st plant)? - I might go back and change them tomorrow if comments say otherwise haha!

      which would grow more fenestrated, whiter leaves tho? The one with more white leaves right now with all green stems or the one with less white leaves but super white stems? :))

    They will both fenestrate :) Just give it high light and fertilizer. I don’t think the fenestrations and inner ones will be affected by the amount of white on the leaf. The nice thing too is that since this is a thai con, the variegation is embedded into the dna of the plant so it will not lose its variegation. thai cons are large form monstera so it’ll also have an easier time developing complex fenestrations and large leaves so be prepared for the space it’ll take up

      Also I had NO IDEA that the variegation was embedded into the dna!! I’ve always been so worried about it loosing the white - that’s so cool

    I would keep the one you have. You chose it for a reason and I think that means it was meant to be.

    I would keep the one you have, also it looks like it’s just starting to mature and that’s when it starts fenestration. Just give her a little more time and give her the right light đŸ€—đŸ„°đŸȘŽ
