Monstera Deliciosa (Araceae)

A very popular and strong plant. Older plants came be spread enormously along windows and other places that are not too dark. Full sun, however is wrong. With too little light, no holes will form in the foliage. With good care the leaves will become very large and the plant can even bloom with arum-like flowers. Fruits may develope, though this usually only happens in greenhouses.

The plant can remain in a warm room the whole year. Spray the foliage frequently, though. During the growth period, feed once every 2 weeks. Repot in the spring to get rid of harmful substances that can build up in the soil. The vines need to be tied up in such a way that the leaves receive enough light, but no too much sun.
