Description
Monstera deliciosa, a member of the arum family, Araceae, is a woody epiphytic vine that climbs by adventitious roots. It starts its life as a terrestrial plant, turning epiphytic once it comes into contact with a tree sturdy enough to climb, sending long roots down to the ground for nutrients from the soil. As it climbs, its leaves get larger sometimes getting multiple feet across. It is native to tropical regions of North and South America and can grow to 70 feet tall, though it stays between 6-8 feet in most home environments. Edible fruit is produced in its native habitat that is said to taste like a cross between a banana and pineapple.
