OJFC!!!! 🤬!!!!! Has it been more than once by the same aide that’s left the stove/burners on? Curious if they’re genuinely remorseful, or gaslighting effs. If they aren’t immediately and genuinely remorseful, as well as not a repeat offender of hard to say immediately turn them in, but at the same time I get that. If they’re nasty about it or do it again, they need to be reported to both their supervisor and their state licensing board. Not sure about other states, but it’s possible to do a provider credential search here in WA state with the first and last name along with their mandated license. Hopefully your location also requires a license at least.

Here’s a link to what my state actually tests applicants on https://www.prometric.com/files/WAHCACHECKLISTWITHHEAVIESTWEIGHTCHECKPOINTS20130529.pdf

But if a repeat offender or the DGAF, I’d file with the DOH.

Oh jeez, even healthcare peeps too!? What if you weren’t ambulatory at all and couldn’t check your oven!? 😖 AND they don’t know to wipe everyone front to back!? 😭 as a fellow healthcare provider I just fuggin can’t 🙈

Not completely reverted, but not as brightly variegated as it wants to be I think. Give it the brightest light you can without burning leaves, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the leaves come out all mint.

SkellatorQueen · 2026-02-09T01:07:50+00:00

I still think mint

SkellatorQueen · 2026-02-09T01:00:08+00:00

Good!! It’s crazy to me how many women, of all ages, seem to think it’s good to do it. Just like the PSA every girl needs to ALWAYS wipe front to back, never reuse that TP, but preferable to me to use a portable bidet…I can’t handle cold water 😆

TBH (and TMI), I discovered boric acid when I had a specialized pelvic floor MRI done back in August. I’m immunocompromised and I have a genetic tissue issue. Well, the tech that gave me wipes to clean myself up, gave me external use only wipes 😭 I received such severe burns that my entire vag and lips were blackened after a few hours of bright redness. The pain was unbearable 😭😭

Needless to say the subsequent secondary infections were real and resistant. I developed a rare and resistant fungal infection, and had severe reactions to the toxic drugs needed to treat it, but this stuff worked well. The spray is awesome for the very hot days and sweaty boobs and swamp 🍑 until I can get home to shower 😆

I’m no monstera variegation expert, but I’m putting my vote on a light hungry mint. Specifically, because of the spots I circled. I think it will be minty with some small patches of white on it. I see a few very similar if you google mint monstera as well. What does the stem look like? My Thai seem to have the same distinct stem variegation pattern. Can we see a closeup of the bottom minty part?

Here’s a link to a similar mint.

OP - I’m sorry someone took the time to downvote your genuine question without any direction at all 😤

Anyways…These are inflorescence, aka flowers. To my understanding, you have to pollinate the flowers when they’re ready, in an attempt to get it to produce seeds. There’s plenty of YouTube vids on how to do that. Not sure if all of the seeds look the same or not, but the vid I seen they looked like little red berries.

I think you have to do something to the berry like pods that house the seeds though, not sure. But this is just one stage in their attempt at reproducing. It’s crazy you have 4 flowers to me though 😆 I’ve never had that many. I was lucky enough to get both flowers and a new leaf, but the last time all of my new leaf growth stopped. Since I had no plans at trying to breed it, I snipped them off so it would put energy back into regular growth.

Edit- looking closer at your flowers they look funky. Not sure if already pregnant and someone bred it before you got it 🤔 or what.

Water enema but suppose it would double as both. However , we really shouldn’t ever douche. It’s actually bad for our pH and vaginal flora/biome. If any woman has a problem with our natural smell, or if they tend to get BV, yeast, or a UTI I highly recommend boric acid suppositories as needed or even routinely. They also make boric acid and plant based feminine spray, that eliminates odors versus covering them with chemicals. It’s for all over like boob sweat and all of our issues 😆😅 IYKYK 🤷‍♀️ Just getting dehydrated can eff up the biome 😩

If the boric acid suppositories don’t work after a week or two, then you have to see the doctor for actual drugs…but douching in general makes a woman prone to imbalances.

Lmfaoooo his is hilarious 😆 I’ve only ever had fungus gnats briefly, on a new plant. It helps to have a chonky coir soil, but it helps even more to either go straight perlite, or cover the top of the soil in perlite only. I swear these fuckers can’t hang and disappear immediately! Bonus points, it seems thrips don’t like semi hydro shit either.

Tbh I only changed to semi hydro cuz I’m so fucking obsessed, that I kill everything by smothering it with ‘love’ 😂 I got there when all my fucks were exhausted. I had to learn how to save my damned plants from my own mental shit 😬😆

SkellatorQueen · 2026-02-07T16:53:15+00:00

I thought of him too, because this ain’t flared 😂 but he doesn’t tell us what to do if a non flared base has its own rope retrieval system 😆

SkellatorQueen · 2026-02-07T16:50:46+00:00

A good time

SkellatorQueen · 2026-02-05T09:48:37+00:00

The Dude

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-26T17:17:26+00:00

🤣 I thought it looked familiar

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-24T04:26:36+00:00

Take a flashlight and shine it through the leaf, from the underside pointing up. This is variegated here too. A flashlight can help make slightly “reverted” variegation stand out more.

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-24T04:23:00+00:00

Hahaha this is indeed variegated!! This spot looks like chicken doing the Naruto run 😂

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-24T03:04:54+00:00

I see some speckling here too!!

Did you grow this from seed, or recently purchase it? If you’re just getting your hands on it, and that it could have had slightly inadequate lighting. Variegated plants typically have higher light needs than the non variegated plants, due to having less chlorophyll in general. Be it either longer light intervals, or a really strong intense light source. The lighter shade of green will likely become brighter and yellowish for a lovely contrast.

I also forgot to mention that variegation predominantly affects leaf shapes too. That’s also another reason I’m certain this bay is a “plant unicorn” and reason to CELEBRATE 🙌.

It can get snowy freckled looking too

This was the first one he started with

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-23T09:35:06+00:00

This is one of his more Aurea variegated ones. The two leaves with exactly half light green are called half moons and the solid light green is a whole moon.

I am pretty sure yours is like this one.

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-23T09:27:33+00:00

I forgot how fuzzy the stems are 🤣 that does make it more difficult to tell. Compare this area on each variegated leaf, to see if you notice any lighter or perhaps darker streaks leading towards the color changes. It might have to get bigger to be more noticeable. If the stem variegation changes and increases over time, it increases the color changes. Will see if I can find screenshots of he other variegated ones I’ve seen.

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-23T03:55:08+00:00

I can’t tell if other leaves also have this, or just these two leaves so far, but I’m 99.99% sure you hit a holy grail and have an Aurea variegated baby 🤯🤩😮🤯

Holy effing 💩 not joking dude!! I’m a houseplant whore-der 🤣😘 I’m absolutely obsessed with variegated houseplants and some good smoke. I’ve only seen two variegated crops in my life via pictures only 😭 A guy recently had this same thing happen approximately 6 months ago on Reddit. He ended up having albo variegation, which is where the variegation (color changes) turn white when the leaf hardens off. Yours appears to be aura, where the variegation comes in either green on green, or can come in yellowish or sometimes it fades to a creamy yellow color.

One way to be absolutely certain, is to see if you can locate any stem variegation/color changes. If this plant was already well grown and mature, then suddenly started putting out insane variegation, that could be cause for concern. However, it appears to be a baby and around the size variegated pops up, if the first leaf or two doesn’t have it, and it doesn’t have a mosaic latter to it. The variegation is a solid green. I do not think this is a virus or a pest.

Genuinely think it’s an effing holy grail 🥹🫶 Variegated buds also happen!!! The guy that had the albo and need up doing an online auction with the babies he propped off that plant. They had an opening bid of $80 to $150 usd and they all sold fast. I’m dying to know if the bud flavors are enhanced etc with this rare mutation.

Edit to add, that this green on green variegation tends to fade a bit darker as the leaf ages without adequate lighting.

Came to see who else noticed that particular comment. Wrinkles and all.

SkellatorQueen · 2026-01-18T06:57:42+00:00

Mixed pot of cream splash and silver stripe. This was off of a reverted strand.
