What makes this plant vermonty

I'd wager this plant has been in Vermont for a greater portion of its life than a lot of people on this subreddit. It's discriminatory to question its Vermontiness just because of its tropical ancestry (not saying you were, but it's a frustratingly common experience among Vermonters who are houseplants)

I love how my question drew downvotes, lol. People have firmly separated themselves into camps on this dogs issue.

All my plants are vermont plants, even the cacti. And my dog is a vermont dog who enjoys the vermont snow.

Now, all you vermont redditors, can you tell that I'm on your side?

I have one of these. It is not my favorite plant. I live in Vermont and am currently inside.

I do not have one of these. It couldn't possibly be my favorite plant. I am also in Vermont and am staying inside.

I wish I could stay inside, but I have to go snowblower a 2 ft high snowdrift that’s in my driveway.

I’m glad you asked. This is a monstera which means it’s a Vermonstera plant. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

My Vermonstera was doing well, but then it started getting holes in its leaves, so I threw it away.
