First and foremost, this is not a critcism of the nursery or the garden centre selling Monstera Bulbasaurs. The comments below are my opinions based on my experience with Monsteras.
Overall, I recommend NOT buying the latest influx of Monstera Bulbasaurs.
1. Low variegation - I’ve seen a few mature version of these plants from likely similar tissue culture batches and the variegation is not great. I think the price should reflect that and $90 is not it.
2. The first few batches are always the most expensive. All the nurseries including big box stores will carry this Monstera and supply will exceed demand.
3. Monsteras are fast growers. I don’t think they should be expensive plants and IMHO $90 is expensive.
Last but not least, don’t let my opinions stop you from buying the plant. I could be completely wrong or completely right but in the end, it’s your plant, your money and your heart to fill. 💚
