Split Leaf Philodendron - Monstera deliciosa
This Monstera Deliciosa or Split Leaf Philodrendron or Ceriman is a fascinating fruiting plant which is also popular as a house plant. It is one of the few fruits that I have never tried but I hope to one day. Sources say that fruits need to be fully ripe or they will cause intestinal irritation. Green fruits can be seen in this photo but are far from being ripe. The seedlings of this plant behave in a negative phototropic way, meaning they migrate away from the light as the grow. A lot more great information can be found at the links below. |
