Serious question plant fam…

Do we love variegated tropical plants because they’re beautiful…

or because they’re rare? 👀🌿

Let’s be honest —

When a plant is:
✨ Limited
✨ Hard to find
✨ Climbing in price
✨ Covered in creamy or pink splashes

Suddenly it’s on everyone’s wishlist.

But if that same plant was common…
would we still obsess over it? 😏

No judgment. Just real talk.

Are you:
A) In love with the beauty
B)In love with the rarity
C) In love with the flex

Drop A, B, or C below 👇
Let’s see how honest this jungle is 😂🌿

🌿 Tell Me You’re a Plant Addict Without Telling Me 🌿😂😂😂

I knew I was a plant addict when…

• Variegation trends matter more than golf fashion trends
• I lose sleep over a new “kid on the block” plant.
• I stalk silent auctions like it’s a competitive sport. 🦅

Refresh.
Refresh.
Refresh.

What Plants Taught Me That People Didn’t…

Plants taught me patience.
Because growth doesn’t happen overnight.

Plants taught me consistency.
Because skipping one week sometimes shows up later.

Plants taught me resilience.
Because even after a bad cut…
they push out a new leaf anyway.

Some days they droop.
Some days they thrive.
Some days they surprise you when you thought they were done.

Sounds familiar?

There were seasons in my life when tending to my plants kept me grounded.
Quiet mornings. Hands in soil. Watching something grow when I felt stuck.

Leafy Life by Joy isn’t just about rare tropical beauties.
It’s about healing in small green ways.

Patience?
Hope?

Another plant that I was crazy about in 2021, during the peak of the rare plant boom, is the Monstera karstenianum Variegated (aka Monstera Peru Variegated).

And we’re not talking about full plants.
We’re talking about…

👉 ONE leaf. ONE node.

That’s it.

💰 The Price Tag?

• $500
• $1,000
• $1,800+ for high variegation

For a single leaf cutting.

Plant collectors were in bidding wars like it was the stock market. Screenshots of auctions were circulating in plant groups daily. If your cutting had:
✨ Half-moon variegation
✨ Minty marbling
✨ Strong node with aerial root

You basically hit the jackpot.

🌱 Why Was It So Expensive?

🔥 Pandemic plant boom
🔥 Limited supply of stable variegation
🔥 Slow-growing species
🔥 Social media hype
🔥 Rare plant collectors competing worldwide

The textured leaves of Monstera Peru were already loved — but add creamy, sectoral variegation? Instant collector gold.

📉 Fast Forward to Now…

Prices eventually normalized as more growers propagated and tissue culture entered the market. But 2021?

It was the wild west of rare plants.

Owning a variegated Peru cutting back then was like holding crypto at its peak.

Did you buy? Sell? Or just watch from the sidelines? 😅

In 2021, plant lovers didn’t walk…
They ran.

Because when a local shop announced they had 5 pots of the legendary Monstera adansonii ‘Tricolour’… it wasn’t shopping.

It was survival. 🌿🔥

🤯 The Craze Was REAL

This wasn’t just another variegated plant.

This was:
• Cream.
• Mint.
• Deep jungle green.
• All on ONE leaf.
• With those iconic Swiss-cheese holes.

Every leaf looked hand-painted. No two were the same. Some half-moon. Some speckled. Some marbled like living art.

Instagram couldn’t breathe.
Plant groups exploded.
People refreshed stories like they were buying concert tickets.

💸 The Rarity Hit Different

In 2021:
• Prices? Wild.
• Availability? Almost none.
• Demand? Unhinged.

And when a local store had only FIVE pots?

You didn’t “think about it.”
You didn’t “sleep on it.”
You didn’t “wait for payday.”

You grabbed. Immediately.

Because you knew... once it’s gone, it’s gone.

🌱 Why It Felt So Special

Unlike stable variegation, Tricolour was unpredictable.
Each new leaf was a surprise drop.

Would it be heavy cream?
Would it throw mint?
Would it revert?

It was a gamble. And we loved it.

Owning one felt like:
• Winning the plant lottery.
• Entering an exclusive club.
• Having a living masterpiece.

2021 plant era was chaos.
And the Monstera Adansonii Tricolour?

Main character energy. 🌿✨

If you were there when stores only had 5 pots…
You already know.

Drop a 🌿 if you remember the madness.
