variegated Monstera

[Darold Petty]

This is a start from my best form of variegated Monstera. Even the stem has variegation.   It has been in the pot for about 4 months and is well rooted. 

The roots are somewhat adhesive, so I recommend to cut off the pot when moving up a pot size or ground planting.

 I will ship it, in the pot, anywhere in the 48 contiguous States, via USPS Priority mail  The price is $100 plus $20 for shipping, payment via PayPal in advance.  PM me for my actual email for payment, and don't forget to include your shipping address.   Thanks for reading !

Beautiful plant darold!

Amazing. Usually a scrap of a leaf and stem would be sold for twice that.  Darold — incredible plant!!!

Yes, I recognize the very low price.   The Ebay listings are off the charts!   I have a complicated attitude about plant pricing.  I have spent a fortune on plants over the last 40 years, and now that I am retired my income stream is greatly reduced, therefore I wish to get a fair value.  However, I really dislike how money distorts our hobby.  

  I once sold a Pritchardia viscosa for $100,  only to have several Palmtalkers PM me that I could have priced it at $400.  So, that price was  unacceptably low.  I am mostly happy to realize half or 2/3rds of the 'retail' price.  Also, when I was a beginner  several senior palm people were most generous with both their time and plants, so let's just say I am playing it forward.

Darold: Here's my variegated Monstera that I've been growing for more than 2 decades. There are about 4 plants stuffed in one pot. It was inexpensive when I originally bought it. It grows outdoors year round up against my sunroom (Sacramento suburbs), but the thin leaves brown on the edges during heatwaves. I also have another variegated cultivar with less variegation but thicker leaves that don't dry out on the edges.

Very Nice !

Thank you for doing your part to keep the plant world's pricing sane during a time of complete nuttiness!

Do you ever have more of these for sale? 

[Darold Petty]

Mark, I will look in my greenhouse later today.

Most importantly Darold: since you've retired, is there still a steady enough supply of 2nd generation Toyota Tacomas that only fit in your garage to last you?

I have been trying to get one of those for 30 years (since I was 4) so I hate you intensely.  Monstera go from 30 centimetres to 2 metres here in less that 12 months.  Plants here have gone insane price wise lately,  so I am thinking of selling a few things from the shadehouse to stave off starvation.
