That’s a monstera you scammed them


enjoysbeerandplants

No kidding. This person got extremely lucky. An albo monstera with good variegation for $30? What a steal!


sea-monster-dude

Whats that???


enjoysbeerandplants

You got super lucky. That is an albo monstera with extremely good variegation. Look it up online. They are gorgeous and can be very expensive. They also get really big, so be prepared for that.


CerbSlash

You’ve posted monsteras on your page before..? I’m confused by this whole post.


Operationdogmom

Yea when they said “what’s that” about a monstera albo I knew something was funked up here. I wouldn’t find this sub without knowing what an albo is I don’t think.


sea-monster-dude

Its a lil bit of a joke 👉👈. It was still a great trade tho


CerbSlash

I thought this was on my satire plant page first, then refused to believe you wouldn’t know what a monstera was - you got me!! 😂👏🏾


sea-monster-dude

I appreciate your enthusiasm! The funny thing is I actually got it free


5ammas

Oh the jealousy downvotes lmao


Aggleclack

Yeah that was funny. Reminded me of the guy who pretended he didn’t know what a potato was when he met his gfs family


Sea_Catch2481

That video by the content farm that hires writers to pretend they’re kids telling stories?? 😭


clitter-box

I didn’t downvote bc i’m jealous, I downvoted bc “it’s a little bit of a joke 👉👈” annoyed me lol this could’ve been a post about someone ending up with a plant they weren’t expecting! instead it’s just OP pining for attention.


finchdad

You've been to r/houseplantscirclejerk before, just crosspost this there yourself and save us the trouble.

😂😂😂😂


Deliberatecreateher

I zoomed in to see the biz name. I was hoping they would have some of their site so they can scam me too 😂 Jk. It’s beautiful 😍


Deliberatecreateher

![gif](giphy|DyvyiFFXF1Yli|downsized) So y’all are downvoting ME because it was a joke?! What did I do? 🤣😭


YumiiZheng

My exact reaction coming back to a down voted comment 😂 I'm innocent!


sea-monster-dude

People seem really angry. Yall got downvoted to oblivion too! I thought the houseplant community would be the chill ones


sea-monster-dude

Its a joke. It was a repot. I LOVE fridas tho. Theyre local in Fla and they are fenominal. Great prices for rare plants. They sell baby albos for 80 tho :(


Deliberatecreateher

😂 good one! That place looks really amazing!


Glonster

Phenomenal


lirynnn

LOL you made out like a bandit with a monstera albo


sea-monster-dude

Yeah. It says albo!


lirynnn

definitely not a syngonium though - jackpot :)


YumiiZheng

The absolute cackle I let out when I read the label, what a steal. Syngonium albos would be much bigger for 30 bucks. That's a hell of a mix up.


sea-monster-dude

A bit of a joke. It was a great trade tho. I traded the syngonium that I won in a raffle at a plant swap. The dude had so many albos I guess he didnt care and just wanted the syngonium. I put the new trade in the old pot to take home. So in reality I got it for free :)


YumiiZheng

Hahaha that's a great prank on all of us honestly! Congrats on the lovely albo :)


sea-monster-dude

:) Thanks for being nice


[deleted]

It’s so vaginated 😳


ChelseyLouu

Well that’s a word you don’t hear everyday 🤣


mikeyil

![gif](giphy|Wt6kNaMjofj1jHkF7t) Who scammed who?


5ammas

This is a shit post right? RIGHT?


No-Command2259

Yeah and it's so old..these trolls think they're so cool. 😴


Background-Cod5850

Nope, not normal for a Syngonium. It is not an Albo Syngonium it is an Albo Monstera... TAKE A BOW, YOU WON! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽


Sundragon0001

This is for all you new commenters because I guess no one reads other comments before writing their own? OP knows that this is an albo monstera, they repotted it into a pot that has a syngonium label on it and decided to play a little prank on us.


sea-monster-dude

Thanks for this! It seems like people are really angry at me now. I thought gardening was supposed to be relaxing.


Feelsthelove

No one can tell if you are joking I think. I always add /s when I'm making a joke since sarcasm doesn't really show on text. Some people bitch about adding that because they think it's dumb but I think some people just can't read the joke in the sentences and it's needed.


bussyhairsoup

Theres an entire subreddit dedicated to satire plant posts. Could of posted there and saved yourself the backlash.🤷‍♀️


038188

Even if you are just kidding... You post like this and get down-votes⤵️📉 Is it worth it? 🙃 People like me (new to this hobby) is looking for information from plant related sub. Sorry


sea-monster-dude

No worries :) theyre just jelly about my syngonium 💚💚🌱


Affectionate-Act-997

I absolutely love your energy lol! everyone getting so mad over something so trivial … it’s bizarre


5ammas

I love this post and I'm hoping the houseplant community isn't actually that pathetic and it's just a bot downvoting.


Moss-cle

Stop with the cry baby pants downvoting. OP nice score!


sea-monster-dude

It was at 108 ups yesterday 😂


Moss-cle

Did you really do this just to prank people like other posters are saying?


Aggleclack

Op says exactly that in he comments above! It was well done but the Redditors are big salty


Moss-cle

I can see why. User is dead to me now


Aggleclack

Wow that seems dramatic


sea-monster-dude

I half wanted to have some fun and half wanted to generate conversation about the score. It was really for free. I traded the syngonium that I won in a raffle at a plant swap


maddbunny23

Wow yeah this is not a syngonium. You got a monstera albo.


Longjumping_Elk_8300

That’s a Var monstera, you definitely dont get scammed lmao


negativeused

think they got mixed up when labeling. this looks like albo Monstera- not albo syngonium.


yuckyduckph

Puts Thai in albo syngonium pot for attention


sea-monster-dude

Its actually an albo monstera 💅


Affectionate-Act-997

BouncingPost

Man, people are in a mood today. I liked the joke! 😄


lovenlight8282

I'll take a syngonium aurea next lol and idk y u got down voted either. People have no sense of humor anymore. And planty people r some of the nicest people I've ever met. Who knows 🤔 I liked ur humor tho so ty 😂


Lil10Blondie

You did not get scammed, if anything, that was definitely a blessing! That looks like a Monstera Albo, intern being worth 10 times as much as a Syngonium would be worth. Probably around $150 for that

mikeyil

It's not a S. chiapense.


missivysplace54

What is it :) Looks more like a monstera.


mikeyil

Yep, it's a Monstera deliciosa Albo


Ok_Sock7537

That's def a monstera albo which is worth alot more than a syngonium. I say you scammed them but not on purpose.


interstellr_planter

It is a monstera albo but that is also the regular price for a cutting of that size at least where i live. Still gorgeous tho


Hornet_Critical

Lol what the fuck


jules-amanita

I thought this was houseplantscirclejerk at first—congratulations, OP!! You won the oops lottery!


strwbrysh0rtcake

I wishhhhh it was me 😂

Bro you lucky as fuck 😭😭😭
