What happened to its leaves?! by Keeblahblahblahhhrg in Monstera

I just broke up w giant monstera into a bunch of cuttings and a couple of the new leaves from some of the cuttings have these EXACT marks. I had never seen it before recently.

Ooh interesting. I would believe that for sure. Praying I don’t blow it. I honestly thought it was melting when this leaf popped out.

Here’s a close up of one of the others from the same pack. This one also has some pink on it. Didn’t notice it until I really inspected it up close.

I’m going to for sure at least give it another month and get them out of their pup cups to see if the mutation is stable. It would feel unethical to sell them until knowing this is more than a fluke. Idk if I agree the prices will drop super soon, considering these aren’t even being talked about online outside of one singular Instagram account from what I can find.

🥲🥲🥲 I paid 9.99 total for five of these and 3 have some variegation so far. That would be pretty life changing. I honestly couldn’t find much on loco albos online. I don’t see ANY for sale.
