The power of scoria (lava rock)

[SouthPark]

Fuerte Rav ------ oh geezz!!!!!!! That is a beauty of a plant you have there!! A monster of a plant. Hence Monstera (we think!).

Thanks for posting those pics. The leaves are huge, and beautiful - and so is that flower and fruits!

With the albo ----- I read that the albo variegata borsigiana kind of Monstera comes from mutation - and are propagated by taking cuttings. And I think that the sources mentioned something like all the albos are not propagated from seed.

But wouldn't be surprise that if enough are grown from seed - then maybe some of those seeds will have the mutation! Not sure what the stats are though - the probability.

I reckon that in time ---- there will be enough albos around for everybody to share. I think the prices on ebay and everywhere are just inflated. It's kind of ridiculous - when all we're looking for is a reasonably priced cutting or seedling etc and too many jacked-up prices. But I think that if a friend or somebody has a plant ----- can getting cuttings for free ---- as we can see how large these plants can get - like yours!
