This one is Monstera borsigiana (aka M. deliciosa borsigiana) which is a different plant than Monstera deliciosa albovariegata. Majority of those you see listed on eBay are Monstera borsigiana, which is much more common, though still not exactly cheap. The true Monstera deliciosa albovariegata is considerably rarer and definitely much more expensive!

Monstera borsigiana grows faster than M. d. albovariegata and the leaves only attain 1/3 to 1/2 the size of M. d. albovariegata. Both are really easy to grow and don't seem too picky about soil type as long as it's well draining.

In either case , it's a beautiful plant! I grow both varieties and love them both for different reasons.
