Join us for a conversation with Tyler Thrasher about his adventures in plant genetics.

If you’re a plant person, you’ve heard of Thai Constellation Monsteras- with cuttings starting around $200 and mature plants costing upwards of $1000. After hundreds of emails asking “Tyler, where can I buy a variegated Monstera that doesn’t cost $1,000?” He set out to answer that question.

Join us for a conversation with Tyler Thrasher about his adventures in plant genetics. As it stands, Tyler is teaming up with other scientists and botanists to mass produce a completely unique plant and offer it to the world for a reasonable and accessible price. There are no such thing as rare plants; all plant lovers should have access to the genetic diversity and beauty plants can display.
