According to Grow Jungle, the unique leaf pattern of Thai Constellation Monstera comes from a mutation introduced by a lab in Thailand, although Monsteras are native to the Americas.
However, because of its origins, the plant is typically rare and used to cost hundreds of dollars, although the price has now dropped to an average of $49 across the U.S.
