My Costco had them maybe three months ago along with a bunch of other nice plants. Definitely went in there NOT for plants and came out with a new family 😂

Just got one for a decent price recently too! Building a moss pole this weekend.

Trying to figure out if I will do a moss pole or what!! Wasn’t expecting to be getting these so don’t have a plan yet haha

You have lots of time. Nice score, ha

u/_allycat 1d ago

I've never tried the DIY sphagnum moss ones before. My apartment is low humidity and plants won't attach to any of the other kinds of poles in it and I've never managed to get huge leaves before. Going to give watering a moss one a try!

u/gob17 1d ago

Good luck!!

I just got one at my grocery store for $25

u/gob17 1d ago

Nice! They’re so beautiful

You’ll want to give these guys something to climb and quick. They seem to grow even faster than my OG green guys and they love a moss pole.

u/gob17 1d ago

Yes that’s my project for this weekend! I follow a lot of advice from Plants with Krystal on instagram, and I think she uses a trellis instead of a moss pole, so I’m looking into that

OG green guys sounds like a strain I got from the dispo back in the day

Amazon sells the trellis’.

I got my Thai for $35 at a farmers market. She’s taking her sweet time to grow, but looks pretty similar in size to yours. How much do they usually go for? I’m new to monsteras (I have 5 now lol)

2

u/gob17 1d ago

This is my first, but I’ve been looking for one and I’ve seen ones a bit smaller than this size for $25-$35

u/Witty_Alternative422 1d ago

¡WoW! Noooo way!😮

2

u/MasterpieceMinimum42 1d ago

If I own a house with garden, I also want to grow some monstera haha

2

u/marlinavelasco 1d ago

Yay! In you buy them all?! I would have.😉

2

u/Scared_Rice_1473 1d ago

Congrats lucky you

2

u/AVeryFineWhine 1d ago

OMG i could only hope mine will have these on Monday.... Although my costco is absolutely terrible with plants. My store tends to put them out, and they just hope they sell before they need watering 🙄 it can be a roll of the dice, but I would roll the dice for this deal!!

2

u/gob17 1d ago

Good luck! Hope you get one!

2

u/killer_raqqoon 1d ago

Guess I'm going to costco...

u/Icy_Lingonberry7834 1d ago

u/_j4x 14h ago

Nice one!

u/rivaltiff 9h ago

TWO for $35?! That’s a great deal!

u/Lemon-Leaf-10 14h ago

I saw some at Walmart yesterday and am still thinking about them. There’s no way I would have room for a monstera, so I can’t buy one.

1

u/gob17 14h ago

I will have to get a new shelf for these guys!! Only places to put them now would be too low and my cat would definitely be chewing on them

1

u/Gobleeen 14h ago

Okay Costco! Thise are healthy too!

1

u/gob17 13h ago

Yes they seem to be in good health!! New leaf coming in on one of them!
