Monstera
Make your life greener
Monstera is a genus of 49 species of flowering plants in the arum
family, Araceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas. The genus
is named from the Latin word for "monstrous" or "abnormal", and refers
to the unusual leaves with natural holes that members of the genus have.
They are commonly grown indoors as houseplants. The best-known
representative of the genus, Monstera deliciosa, is also cultivated for
its edible fruit which tastes like a combination of banana and
pineapple.
