Monstera deliciosa, or Split-leaf Philodendron, is an vigorous, evergreen epiphytic climber from Central America and Mexico.

Also known as the Swiss cheese plant.
A jungle climbing relative of the philodendron from Mexico and Guatemala. It is seen in gardens in tropical and subtropical areas, growing well in partial sun or shade.
The plant begins bearing after three years. The large deep green, cone-like fruit is actually an unripened flower spike, covered with hexagonal scales that dry out and separate as the fruit ripens from the base upwards, revealing the white pulp. It takes a little longer than a year to mature to an edible stage.
Blooming Time: The flowers are a white spathe that that will reach up to 12 inches (30 cm) long. The spadix is about 10 inches (25 cm) long and will mature into an edible fruit. The fruit has a pleasant aroma and tastes, to me, like a cross between banana and pineapple.
Culture:
Monstera deliciosa need partial shade to high indirect light, with a rich, well-drained soil mix.
>In the greenhouse, use a soil mix consisting of 2 parts peat moss to 2 parts loam to 1 part sand or perlite. The plants are kept moist for optimal growth and should be fertilized on a weekly basis during the growing season (spring and summer).
>>They are very vigorous growers and need a lot of support to keep the stems from breaking. Our outside plant is supported by a large live oak.
These plants will grow LARGE and if grown indoors needs continual cutting back to keep it contained.
If grown in the home, plants should be grown on the dry side, as this will help slow their growth. They should be re-potted every other year in containers.
