Hello! So from my understanding, the Albo variegation gene can express in different monstera species. I have two Albos in my apartment, but I am unsure if the host species are the same! If anyone knows how to identify their host species, it would be much appreciated!
Bonus points if someone knows what these two are worth now, I don’t plan on selling but I’m curious!
Also, is this very bulbous shoot still considered a shoot? I feel like it would have a different name.

Pic 2: Bulbous Shoot
Pic 3: Little Albo (note: my non-plant friend took care of it for 2 months, hence the browning).

that is not a shoot, it is a flower. leave it and it will become an edible fruit (people say it tastes like pineapple and strawberry)
Looks like it’s a borsigiana due to the spacing inbetween the nodes. The bulb means your plant is fruiting.

They are both small form Albo. They are beautiful and healthy. I can’t wait for mine to reach the maturity of the first you have. I saw 2 like your more mature one for $350 and $375 this past weekend at a nursery about an hour away. I really wanted to get the bigger one but have an Albo I have been growing for years. The higher variegation the longer it takes to get bigger.
