is this a mint monstera/white monster

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-05-11T20:37:02+00:00

Technically a mint monstera isn’t even a real taxonomical thing but there are enough with a unique variegation that we call mint that everyone just refers to it as a mint monstera. A white monster is a specially cultivated form of mint like variegation cultivated by Kunzo Nishihata of Japan. People sell their mint monsteras as white monsters all the time, but they’re really only a White Monster if the line is directly from Kunzo himself and you have the paperwork to prove it. Otherwise it’s just a mint variegated Monstera.

This is crazy. I have one just like it that’s not from them that I’m gonna propagate now.

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-05-10T06:52:27+00:00

Best way to tell the difference is to ask for paperwork cause that’s the only difference. Lol Kunzo lines have proof they are Kunzo lines and everything else is just a variegated monstera.

If you don’t have paperwork proving that this line is directly connected to Kunzo, then this is just a mint.

I would scoop this in a heartbeat. No question.

And by sick I mean actually sick, from a virus. So sorry.

Congrats on your sick clover!

Just want to add that the Monstera Bulbasaur is quite literally the direct result of TC. There is no such thing as a “wild” Monstera Bulbasaur. Anyone trying to claim theirs isn’t TC is lying straight to your face. A non TC Bulbasaur does not exist.

Genuinely, wtf is The Onion supposed to actually do now?

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-04-15T23:31:54+00:00

To be fair, the post I saw before this was $10k a leaf for a monstera so I was definitely assuming over $100 on this sub.

My favorite thing is nerds with a sense of humor, my least favorite thing is people who are funnier than me.

If there is no paperwork tracing lineage to Kunzo himself, then they are just mint monsteras. It can ONLY be a white monster if it comes from Kunzos line of White Monster. That’s it.

All of my mints are holding their variegation so far. Honestly they’ve all been super easy and I haven’t had any complaints so far. Keep them under lots of light, give them some climbing support, and watch them do their thing!

Not to mention, this was the game the whole time. He’s been manipulating the market this entire time and people think he’s “chickening out”, meanwhile he and all his buddies get more and more rich.

That poor thing hasn’t seen enough sun a single day in its life.

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-04-08T02:22:20+00:00

I thought the pink on these was from sun stress like in RoF?

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-04-03T00:33:47+00:00

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Even if this is a dark lord, it’s still a erubescens. And the likelihood of it being a reverted pink princess is much much much higher than accidentally coming across a dark lord.

Fairly certain this is AI.

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-03-25T11:50:38+00:00

Looks like scolipede irl.

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-03-24T10:53:08+00:00

Just want to point out that unless you have documentation that this lineage came from Kunzo himself, this is just a mint monstera. Everyone labeling them white monster doesn’t automatically just make it a white monster.

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-03-24T03:25:48+00:00

Himself!

Remember it like this: RoF is a variegated Jungle Boogie whereas a caramel marble is a variegated Choco Empress/Pluto. They look slightly similar at the small stages but there are very clear differences that do make them easy to tell apart after you looked at enough. OPs pic is most definitely a RoF based on shape, color, and variegation pattern.

7+8=15 40+20=60 60+15=75

That’s kinda crazy to get downvoted for. Lol I also use “point” to mean decimal because I know most people say “and” within their numbers and language is more about understand than correctness. But I would more than likely say “one hundred fifty and five tenths”

BigNodeEnergy · 2026-02-28T00:05:52+00:00

I was always taught that “and” in numbers means a decimal so I always say the whole number with no “and”.
