variegated monstera on eBay
Comments (10)You obviously need to know what you are buying, but some items are only available on places like ebay....when is the last time you have seen a D. croatii for sale comercially?? I can not afford $100 for it, but for those who can it may be the only chance they will ever have to own it. A couple of years ago I offered the odd little aroid, Ariopsis peltata on ebay....at the time it was not available anywhere else in the world outside of India....$7 seemed high, but I sold a few.....not sure that was a bargain or not, but the buyer has to decide what the plant is worth to them I suppose...some people have the luxury of having more money to play with...wish I had that luxury :o) Dan...See MoreHow many hours of LED grow lights for variegated monstera?
Comments (22)It all depends on the conditions in which you keep it. The voltage of the lamp is also important. Usually it should be kept for about 11-12 hours. When I first started doing this, I often encountered various problems. I used weak lamps, which were not enough for the plants to germinate normally. After three months of useless work, my friend said that my lamps are absolutely not suitable for my plants. It was very difficult to find a good lamp, but he advised me to use nextlight mega . It turned out to be a great investment for me. Plants do much better. If someone encounters a similar problem, then I advise you to purchase it. Have a good harvest everyone :)...See MoreMonstera Cutting Variegation
Comments (5)The variegation is not too bad on that one. I often see Monstera cuttings that are TOO white go for outlandish prices. Ideally there would be slightly more white/mottling, but I would not at all hesitate to get a plant like this one, especially if the price was good (and the prices of these have been ridiculous recently). The variegation is decent. BTW the amount of white in these has nothing to do with inheritance/genetics per se. You have a chimeric mixture of cells without chlorophyll and normal green cells. This plant will most likely continue growing with a similar amount of variegation, some leaves more and some less. If you make a stem cutting, and new growth comes out of the variegated portion it may be much whiter, if it grows out of a green section of stem if may have little or no variegation. The photo is a little dark.......I am assuming the stem is not rotted or brown where the person is holding it...........and rather it is just a dark photo(?). Unlike some other "rare" or at least expensive plants this one is actually pretty easy to grow....See MoreNew Variegated Monstera looking sad
Comments (2)You might want to check the roots to see if the garden center drowned it. Get all the super wet soil off and repot? As for sun, I have no idea. I heard if you hold up your hand between the light source and your monstera, you don't want your shadow to be bold on the plant. But you also want to be able to see it defined. Hope this helps!...See Moreethanwes
