Is this a monstera?
#Monstera hi! My partner picked up this plant as a gift for our anniversary yesterday. The tag for it just says βfoliageβ but Greg identified it as a monstera albo. Is that what this is? I only ask because I started doing research and learned that monstera albos are somewhat rare, and large forms even rarer. I am wondering if this is actually a monstera or a more common plant that just looks like it.

@Slyvie wow! My partner says he found it at Trader Joeβs. Seems like we found a gem π§‘ Iβve wanted a monstera for a while but this is cool!

Hi! This IS a monstera Thai constellation, @Slyvie is right, which is different than a monstera albo, but they are both monsteras. Albos were a variety found naturally in the wild, and Thai constellations are lab-made. Thai cons are much more common now, thanks to tissue culture, and that is why you now find them in places like Trader Joeβs for great prices π₯° Thank goodness theyβre not thousands of dollars anymore!
