Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation'
While classic monstera varieties are easy (and fairly affordable) to come by at any plant nursery, these popular houseplants become extremely coveted and expensive once specialty cultivars and defects come into play.
One of the most sought-after at the moment is a varietal called the 'Thai Constellation' which features the signature white patterns on its leaves caused by lack of chlorophyll, in this case in a splatter pattern.
The 'Thai Constellation' will go for more than the 'Variegata'. Depending on the specimen and the size, it can cost several hundred dollars to upwards of $1,000, Summer Rayne Oakes of Plant One on Me shares with us.
Oakes adds she's seen cuttings go for as much as $300 to $500!
"People in general love Monstera, as it's one of those larger leaved plants with deep fenestrations," Oakes says. "But you add spatter-marked whites and yellows to the leavesβand it'll drive the price up quite readily."
