4" Monstera Deliciosa ''Split Leaf''

Delicious Monster is named for the wonderfully delicious fruit it produces, lily-like and fragrant, flavored like pineapple. Surely appreciated by the native peoples of Mexico and Panama, the flowers and fruit are more rare in captivity but anything is possible. Big, green, strong stems and petioles support big, green, round leaves that are solid in young plants and shot through with holes and splits with maturity. With some support the leaves grow dramatically larger, (huge). Climbing trees in the jungles they love, they can grow to over 60' long. They are such good growers in Hawaii, where they have naturalized, they are even considered invasive.  Each Monstera has a personality of its own, and every home should have a monster of its own in a nice, big pot.
