The Money Plant: They Bought a 12$ Plant… And Now One Leaf Could Sell for 260$!
The Monstera Aurea Marmorata
The plant discovered by this lucky couple looks highly similar to the ordinary Deliciosa since it has the same holes (fenestrations) as the Monstera Deliciosa. It also has the same leaf form.
But there is one thing that sets it apart: it has lovely and distinctive yellow variegations on its huge split leaves, and the variegations vary from leaf to leaf. It also takes longer for them to grow, which makes bulk production more difficult. The more sophisticated varieties of this species can fetch up to $2.7k per plant.
