Your Full Name: Tyler Bendigo

Last Name of the Person Who Discovered The Potential Sport: Bendigo

Have you submitted a sport before? And if so, what number would this submission be?: 1

Mutation Expression: Green on Green (GoG)

Color/Pattern Description: Sectored (Large sections of the leaves contain solid expressions of the mutation)

Mottled (Overlapping mutations evenly expressed on top of one another)

Visible on internodes, Visible on petiole, Visible on midrib

Does your sport have any morphological properties that are consistent? Such as strange shaped leaves, odd textures, etc. If so, please describe:: None

Have you propagated this sport yet?: Yes

If so, how many successful propagations have you managed so far? And what were your primary methods?: So far, I have successfully propagated this plant three times. All were propagated vegetatively through cuttings. All three times I took "butt cuts", in which I cut leafless nodes from the bottom most sections of the plant. These nodes had roots, and were re-planted. In time the nodes sprouted to form new plants.

Have you had any reversions? If so how many from your total propagation numbers?: No reversions so far

When did the mutation occur?: From a mature plant

And lastly, what's the story? How did you discover this plant? Paint us a picture!: Dreading yet another college semester spent online due to COVID-19, I decided to distract myself at my local Home Depot's garden center. I had been sport hunting for months and not once did I find anything noteworthy.
That trip started off no different. I combed probably 30 or so large pots of Monstera with not a single speck of variegation in sight. Feeling defeated, I decided to do one last look around in the outdoor area. I rounded a corner when suddenly, something caught my attention: A sad droopy monstera thrown to the side. I took a quick glance and a leaf that stood out. Was it just wet? Sick maybe? I almost dismissed it until something deep down just told me to look closer.
Lo and behold, the Monstera was neither wet nor sick, but variegated! I was not aware of green-on-green variegation until I spotted this plant. It wasn't just on that leaf either, no no no, it was on ALL the leaves, petiole, and stem. I grabbed it so fast and ran towards a brighter area to inspect it closer.
There were actually three individual plants in what was a large pot of Monstera. This variegated section was the smallest of the three.
After inspecting thoroughly, I ran to the register and paid. I took the find as a good omen for the impending semester.
When I got home I immediately got to work isolating the mutant plant from the rest of its siblings. It had roots, so I potted it in a smaller pot and have been growing it for almost a year now!
