I recently reppotted my albos a month or so back (same plant, just topped it a while back) and gave them some new moss poles. Today I noticed something oddly shaped, so I took a closer look.
I know it's rare for indoor monsteras to fruit, much less an albo! I had dreamed of getting my own fruit, but I never expected it to happen!

Wow that’s amazing! I saw the picture of the plant in your original post so it must have just taken a minute to update.
What magic are you working over there? I bought my first monstera at Target last fall, and immediately divided all the individuals into their own pots. They’re so happy and growing so beautifully but not this happily.
It’s very happy
Is it fruiting, or flowering? Those look like buds it seems?
Amazing! Multiple flowers no less! What a feat you’ve accomplished 👏! That’s a happy plant!
You really, really don’t want to jinx it— a flower bud does not mean a fruit. This has happened to me a lot with citrus!
Please please please pollinate them. And then wait a year to get the seeds XD Albo seeds are likely to produce offspring that are all white (and die), all green (normals), but have a chance to produce variegated offspring. Another redditor grew ten albo seeds from etsy and 2 of the 10 produced variegated offspring. But you’ll have many seeds!
Also, any plant grown from a seed is much more exciting (and arguably valuable) than a tissue culture or propagation.
Wow
