Monstera Plant
Common Name Swiss Cheese Plant
The Monstera Plant with its fruit just about to open. In the opening is a black ant. This photo was taken in my garden.
The fruit of the Monstera Deliciosa plant is a long and green to cream in tone. It is a great Summer display. I have only the one fruit on this plant so far this year.
The outer casing is peeling away from the fruit as it ripens. It ripens in Summer. This can take months to develop on the plant. Fruit must only be eaten fully ripe or it is toxic if unripe and eaten. The leaves and stems must never be eaten.
Photo taken in Melbourne, Australia.
