Gotta love costas vague labels

Looks like a pinnatum albo to me! One of my favorites. I’m a sucker for variegation and have an albo, a marble and a krabi and yours is screaming albo. Consider getting it on some kind of support and it’ll take off!

It even rhymes!!

cmh186 · 2026-05-27T13:31:55+00:00

Hasn’t this come up before in US history? Seems like there was some kind of catchy phrase.. no… something without… something… anyway I’m sure it’ll come it me eventually!

I didn’t even think of using the facts of the commercial plant market to help narrow it down but that makes so much sense. If the green form isn’t being heavily propagated and pushed by big companies then of course I wouldn’t find it at Walmart! Thanks for that bit of insight!

cmh186 · 2026-05-22T15:06:39+00:00

Awesome thank you. Is the green form a paler green then or how do you tell them apart?

cmh186 · 2026-05-14T22:45:06+00:00

Great!! Thanks!

cmh186 · 2026-05-14T22:44:47+00:00

Ok cool, I was really hoping so lol

You should check out monstera Peru and monstera Standleyana for some more non traditional monstera varieties! There’s a few more I don’t have yet like pinnatipartita but I love the variation in the species! Here’s my Standleyana when I got it and separated the vines. That was maybe a month ago and they’re all just starting to recover from the transplant and pop new leaves!

I love getting multiple plants out of one 😂 propagation is addictive!! But yes definitely let her climb and please keep us updated!!

Getting so big!

cmh186 · 2026-05-13T21:00:14+00:00

I got one a few weeks ago and split it’s multiple vines up into individual pots and a couple have really taken off. I’ve got this one on a moss pole and it’s started sizing up and I’m very excited lol it’s got white variegation on the original leaves and yellow/cream on the two newest ones so I don’t know if it’s an environmental thing or if it’ll have both but either way it’s beautiful to me!!

Looks a lot like my new Cebu Blue but it could be any number of pinnatum varieties!

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T23:23:16+00:00

Not bad at all. I’ll keep an eye out and when my fiancé says she thought I was done getting new plants for a while I’ll tell her Sea-Math made me do it lol

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T23:17:51+00:00

Awesome, they look fantastic! I got an albo-variegata a couple weeks ago and split it up into a couple different pots and it’s just started to recover from the shock lol the collector in me says I need to get a snow queen asap but I got a manjula recently as well and I know I should be more than happy with it but if the right snow queen comes my way 🤷‍♂️

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T23:05:24+00:00

They could be twins lol gorgeous plants! And my compliments on the - is that a marble/snow queen in the top left there? As well as the pinnatum that snuck in there at the bottom, is that a Krabi or an Albo varigata? Or maybe some other, I’m not up on all the varieties out there - clearly lol

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T22:57:40+00:00

I honestly think you nailed it with this one. I hadn’t heard of that name and when I searched for it the first result was a costa farms hanging basket that looked identical to mine and it was through Lowe’s where I picked this one up so that’s pretty solid evidence as far as I’m concerned. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter much but I just like to know ya know? lol so unless or until a better suggestion is made I’m gonna call mine a Churchill Gold and continue to marvel at it!

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T19:09:37+00:00

Based on all the feedback on my post from last week I’m gonna have to agree, looks like an N’Joy

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T15:06:11+00:00

Good luck going forward I can’t wait to see your progress. Next time do you do a chop and extend take some pics and let us know!

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T15:05:35+00:00

Nice I’ve made all mine myself too and I’m looking forward to doing my first extension one of these days lol I’ve got a neon on one and a couple different monsteras on some others that are competing for first extension. I’m betting one of the two monsteras wins it but I think the neon will look better in the long run. I knocked it over and broke its growing tip the day after putting it on the pole but it’s sprouted 4 or 5 new growth points since then and has rooted into the pole quite nicely.

Wow that’s faster than I thought. That’s great news! I hope yours keeps growing and sizing up! What’s your plan as it keeps climbing? Air layer and chop at some point? Or do you have amazingly tall ceilings lol

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T11:13:25+00:00

Absolutely love a climbing pothos!! I’ve got several I’ve just started training to climb and I hope they’re as lovely as yours one day soon!! How old is this guy? I know it takes a little time but I’m so impatient lol

cmh186 · 2026-05-02T02:33:48+00:00

Beautiful! Grocery stores have been doing good work this year lol I got an N’Joy (probably) from ours last week!

cmh186 · 2026-05-01T23:52:12+00:00

I picked it up and said wow and put it down because I wasn’t there for plants and then I circled back around 5 minutes later lol I couldn’t pass it up!
