I am not keen on these plants and there were many monstera deliciosa under the B&B part of my house when I bought it, but it was a new house then and it was pretty bare. Now I have callistemons on this part of the house teh monsters are in the way and I just paid someone to dig a large one out and I took it to the tip. There are more under the steps and I like them there as it gives a green view between the boards. They are just in the wrong spot and if in a more 'tropical' spot, they might like nice. They have been flowering for a couple of years but I have ignored them - maybe I shouldn't have?

They can grow big but like many plants can easily be kept smaller with the odd trim and they can make quite a statement in the right place. It is just personal taste though as we all have different tastes... I would rather have one of these to a rose any day but do enjoy looking at others gardens Next time a fruit is ripe you should give it a try though just remember to only eat the part that the skin has fallen off and no further

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.

A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.
