Monstera

Welcome to My Online Greenhouse

Monstera is a genus of 59 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 herbs or evergreen vines, growing to heights of 20 metres (66 ft) in trees, climbing by means of aerial roots which act as hooks over branches.these roots will also grow into the soil to help support the plant. Since the plant roots both into the soil and over trees, it is considered a hemiepiphyte.
