Why is monstera obliqua so expensive?

The Monstera obliqua plant has a lot of fans, and its unique, lacy shape is a big part of why. The leaves are fenestrated, meaning they have holes in them. This is genetic, not caused by pests or damage. I'd say this plant is rare or expensive, like you said, because it's great for indoor and outdoor ornamental plants.

Wow, you have this plant? It's really popular around here. I'd say every other house has one. It seems that this plant is quite rare, and there are only a few online stores that sell it.
