Any advice for getting a monstera albo? Any tips on where to get it or how to care? I know they need lots of light to keep variegation, but I'm not sure about watering schedules and fertilizer rate ect. Any help is appreciated!

    I would always check Facebook marketplace and Etsy but be careful with etsy because you can get scammed

      Yeah I've been looking at FB but they're all so expensive 🥲

    I bought mine as a cutting off of Etsy a while ago. Definitely read lots of reviews though for that shop and make sure it actually seems possible — otherwise it is likely a scam. Buying a cutting makes it feel like forever until you see new growth, but it eventually feels so rewarding 😆

      I'm not too excited about cuttings because I always feel like if I don't do everything just right it's gonna revert to a normal variety

    You can even get a plant online or a tissue culture

    Plant shows might be a good place to look. The pricing varies a lot, but you're likely to find the less common varieties

      I saw at least two at the last plant show i went to, thought they were on the expensive end of things

      Oh. I think it would be cool to have a half moon where the normally all green part looked like an average monstera albo w the other stark full white

      I like the halfmoon look too, but i think i might go for that type of variegation in a scindapsus

    FB Marketplace, FB trade groups (local ones or Plant Purge USA), or Palmstreet are solid picks. I’ve bought and sold from Reddit trade groups too.

      I've been looking at FB marketplace but I don't really have anything good to trade :')

      Understandable! I just ordered some for about $13. 5+ clippings ready to be rooted. Never had an issue with scams. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

      Same with Etsy and other third party stuff that gets delivered. That and the cuttings could be damaged during delivery and idk if they do returns or not n a hundred other variables
