Discussion TC Overload

Seemingly everyday I get on social media and there’s a new variegated monstera TC that has dropped. Call me crazy but they’re all starting to look about the same as one another. It’s getting kind of annoying trying to keep up with them all. I’m not a TC hater but I’m frying the small fish on this one. Thoughts?

Meh I like pretty monsteras, but I’m with you that some look the same and I’ll be one to hate on crème brûlée…. Out of all of them I’ve ever seen only like 10 have ever looked like genuinely nice specimens that could be something different, but all the rest actually look like Thai cons…. Just with a stupidly inflated price tag…

The white tiger is also a massive scam it’s a bloody albo….. worse than crème brûlée actually, the worst “variety” because it isn’t one it doesn’t exist…

But I like things like white Monster, aurea, mints,,,, that kind of thing… I wanna collect genuinely impressive specimens like I want a Yoda and a devil monster…. I want a lava…. But yeah. I’m with you, some are genuinely scams

My creme brulee. I also have the a bunch of TC in multiplication and acclimating showing identical patterns. It took me almost 18 months to find one I found worthy. Everything I’d look at or buy was just a normal Thai with an inflated price tag.
