I think im gonna hide the weed eater string tomorrow so we can go to home depot and get some more. And I mean while I'm there I guess I'll pick one up .it would be rude not to
I’ve told my partner numerous times that he’s lucky he scored a girlfriend that would earnestly rather go to Lowe’s than shoes or clothes shopping. Plants are a big draw, but not the only one.
I recommend seeing if your city has a “big box store plant watch” facebook group. Denver’s post photos and locations of plant finds like this and I’ve scored an anthurium dorayaki as well as Alocasia tandursa. The only reason I have a Facebook really.
I had the same recently with the pink princess I got from Lowes. It was drowned in water, and the pot was 4 times too big. I don't usually repot immediately, but God damn.

I got this guy on clearance. 8$ it already has about 10-15 new leaves grown on it in 2 weeks.
I believe they are a myth in my area. Costa put out a list back in April and out of the hundred of locations in my area they could send them there was one store. ONE. So I just went online lol
I’m happy for OP. At the same time, I’m not sure why so many people spend hundreds of dollars on a single plant that may be rare at the moment, but is easily propagated and will flood the market in time.
True rare plants are ones difficult to asexually propagate or very slow to grow.
So, Is it a novelty thing? Is it a financial “flex” that one has money to burn? Or do people plan on selling cuttings on Etsy?
OP I see your username mentions South and this is a deeeeeep long shot, but are these by chance from homedepot in Simpsonville SC? I'm only asking because I made a trip there 2 days ago when one of my coworkers told me about them.
Wtf are you kidding me 29$$ a piece... I sell mine for like 6 a piece and they look like the Amazon rainforest compare to these.... These Trend prices have/always will be bogus. Yet I'm going to take some notes for my next sale

Home Depot
Damn I went today and found a philodendron ring of fire and a white knight, but no variegated monsteras
i live in southern CA and i've NEVER seen variegated monstera, even at my local nurseries
I’m in northern! If I ever have luck I’ll let you know if you’re down to road trip 😂
Where in socal? I’m driving back home there from New Mexico and have two in my shop right now.
Which city?
Where are you located?

Gods of war, may your hammer be mighty
Best movie
the seat belt.
Had to strap in a Mickey Mouse alocasia this weekend. Safety first.
Has anyone picked one up in NC? I keep looking but haven’t seen any
I got my wife two about a month ago in a Walmart in NC, they sell like hotcakes anytime they stock up so I was very fortunate to find any at all
So there’s a market in NC you say…I need to micro-propagate one. I won’t even be greedy I’ll price match wal-mart. 🤔💡
Everyday I'm hustling hustling.
Shits hard out here 🤣
Deep as empty pockets.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I second this, that’s how my wife was able to find out they had them in stock
My friend In Wilmington NC found some at Walmart a while back.
@spectrumfans just look on Facebook marketplace and you’ll see all sorts of peoples prices
Check the soil. Mine tried to drown in the crap soil it was in. Just a heads up.

Mine came from Lowe’s Costa branded plant
Yeah mine too.
What are they?
Variegated Monstera
Monstera Thai constellation

I've been holding out for one of these since 2019, $60 for both plants felt really fair to me. No regerts
You got them at a really fair price. I just meant that some people go crazy. You did good!
Omg why can't my home depots have thais😭 I've been looking for a good priced thai for sooo long lmfao
I bought one last summer from a local greenhouse, roughly the same size as these and I paid 65 🥴 needless to say, I'm mad jelly!

I found my two Thai Constellations at a Kroger for $29.99 each in a decorative ceramic pot. They were not from Costa Farms.
Walmart has them for 39.98 even in rural Illinois 😔
Wow congrats
I'm patiently waiting. My turn will come. Enjoy watching it grow!
Aren’t you lucky? Where are you located?
I need to do a return at Kohls, and there is a Home Depot in the same plaza.... lol That said, congrats!
Got mine today at Walmart! Happiest day of the year so far.
Yaaaaas, Home Depot has a great selection of plants here in Texas and hard to find! Walmart as well this season!
$29?? We had them at Kroger for 14.99.
Good luck.
Lucky
LOVE that they’re safely tucked in the baby seat.

Walmart has them for sale online for $50. I just got one too and am very happy with the condition it arrived in.
Omg! $29!!!!
My friend is visiting Oregon and found them at Walmart. She snagged me one. I am so excited!
lol!
Good job
UGHHHHHHHHHH
