For many years I have been picking variegated Monstera deliciosa out of the thousands that are tissue propagated; most are unremarkable and I sell them eventually. One had a streak of both yellow ("aureo") and white ("albo") variegation on the same leaf. It has been growing nicely and I would like to see what you all think of it. Has anyone seen anything like it?

I personally have an area that has cream variegation as well as shades of yellow and lime green. It never shown blatant white on the same leaf, though it has had area variegation on one leaf and white on a separate leaf

Interesting! So did you know when you got this one, or did it just happen after growing for a while?

so actually this is a very old plant. I know it doesn't look like it but it's from about 2005. I got it as a trade from someone in south Florida as a cutting of a mature plant. I don't have photos of it from back then because they are in photo bucket and being held hostage. But I remember it as being mostly aurea. In 2010 we had a 10-11 night attic freeze here where it was 20f every night. It's never happened again. But it was awful and my greenhouse heater failed. I lost fully half my collection. This plant was one I thought was toast. But some years later I was cleaning up the greenhouse and found a very small piece of meristem and restarted it and this is what I have now

These are the last few leaves on this plant. Its heading back to being large form, the way it was before. The variegation on these is mainly cream, not yellow except the last one that has a definite more aurea cast
