That's fair, I'm still not sure how I feel about monstera deliciosa variegata, on one hand I like it, on the other I hate it, and on one foot I think it's absurdly overpriced which makes me hate it.
That's exactly what I'm saying, it looks wrong! That's why I'm so specific about the variegation I like.
We have a ton of variegated ficus benjamina around my house so they're another plant that is boring as fuck to me, I can see why someone might like it though, I guess.
It looks very messy, I love the leaves of the golden pothos and the green colour but the variegation.. oof. Snusmumrikken wrote:
Yeah.
I don't really see the appeal with variegation if we are talking the kind like ah it's this species but it has some mutation that change it. I don't like them. I came across a variegated monstera and the only thing I could think was "If I buy this, I could use it to make cuttings and sell them, money.. money..".
It usually looks like some disease or spilt paint imo so I just.. don't. My sister has a variegated ficus benjamina and she really likes it and I respect that, but I would never have it myself.
Man, same, I really dislike the variegation of a golden pothos, it, again, looks very sickly to me. I have some sort of variegated pothos but I don't think it's considered a golden pothos because the variegation is creamy rather than yellow, which I think is pretty cool. Here's a photo of two of the leaves:Alam wrote:
I get it. I, for instance, don't really see the appeal of most ferns, monsteras or alocasias. To each their own but to me they are pretty boring. I like to hear what plants other people like though, I find it very interesting to hear what characteristics people appreciate in their plants, variegation, colour, succulence, bloom etc. You seem to like aglaonemas, am I right? Those are cool.
I'm interested to hear what you think about variegated plants. I'm personally very picky about variegation, I like variegation like the hoya krimson princess, syngonium podophyllum albo-variegatum or any splashing really, but most of the time I find it makes the plant look sickly, like with the variegated string of hearts.
I like plants with green colours that appeal to me, and some like patterns but not all. For instance I like the trailing plants I have, but I could never have the golden pothos because it's just.. I can't stand the yellow in it, it's just very unappealing to me for some reason. I get it. I, for instance, don't really see the appeal of most ferns, monsteras or alocasias.
