Yeah, the variegated adansonii has been over $2000 here too, and the true Monstera obliqua went a few months ago for over $3000. I am on a private auction site for aroid and unusual plant collectors, the other day a 3 leaf 3 node cutting of Philodendron Strawberry Shake sold for over $600. People have flipped out over aroids, and variegated ones in particular. Its a bit crazy. Most of this is the result of a few 'internet plant influencers' who started Youtube channels showing their houseplant collections. Then everyone kind of piled on and started trying to grow stuff like Queen Anthuriums and other stuff in their kitchens, some folks are even making tent greenhouses inside their houses with grow light set ups, foggers, etc to grow mainly aroids. The prices have soared through the roof on even the most common plants.
