Haha yeah, green-on-green are technically quite rare. But ultimately I see them as just a random mutation with a bold price tag. So from what I understand, they show up randomly in industrial production of regular monstera, but aren’t really propagated much because it’s not reliable variegation. I personally like the understated two-tone green, but that price is a never for me 😂

That being said, I don’t know why that aurea is being listed for $1k. Aurea are only slightly more rare than Albos. I would expect a regular aurea with 4 leaves to be listed for more like $300-500. In my opinion

Time to consider a propagation side job?? 🤔😉

😂 I would probably somehow kill it and be in debt 5k 😅😶
