Re: [Aroid-l] Why is Monstera deliciosa to be kept in the adult

From: Johannes Moonen <emeraldjunglevillage at wanadoo.fr> on 2010.09.04 at 21:42:18(21379) Dear Ferek, i keep M delicosa since 1991 on my lawn. They where 2 cuttings i 'found' in Caracas. by time they developed great leaves and have flowered, but not regulary. I don not do anyting for them, just let them creep on the ground. I have seen this in gardens in Fla too. In the 60's M. deliciosa was in Holland a fashionplant. I t might be responsible for my love for aroids.
