Even the exotic plants like the mild climate of Taormina (Sicily) Monstera deliciosa is a creeping vine native to tropical rainforests from southern Mexico south to Panama. It has a thick stem growing up to 20 m height and large, leathery, glossy, heart-shaped leaves 25-90 cm long by 25-75 cm broad. On young plants the leaves start out smaller and entire with no lobes or holes, but older plants soon produce lobed and holed leaves. The fruit is up to 25 cm long and 3-4 cm diameter, looking like a green ear of maize lined with hexagonal scales. When it first flowers, the fruit contains so much oxalic acid that it is poisonous, causing immediate and painful blistering and irritation, swelling, itching, and loss of voice. It takes a year for the fruit to ripen, at which point it is safe to eat. The seedlings grow towards the darkest area they can find until they find a tree to latch onto, at which point they start to grow up towards the light, creeping up the tree. In Messico, paese dal quale proviene, può raggiungere l’altezza di 6 m. e le foglie arrivano a misurare anche un metro di lunghezza e 60 cm. di larghezza. Nei nostri climi le dimensioni sono notevolmente ridotte. Il fenomeno dell’eterofillia, in questa specie, è talmente accentuato che all’inizio fu classificata come appartenente al genere Philodendron e tutt’oggi volgarmente viene chiamata filodendro. Allo stadio giovanile infatti le foglie si presentano cuoriformi, con apice acuminato e lamina e margini interi (simili a quelle di molte specie di Philodendron). Allo stadio adulto, invece, assumono l’aspetto caratteristico della specie con margini fortemente intagliati e fori oblunghi sulla lamina sia lungo la nervatura centrale che nei segmenti. A livello dei nodi emette radici avventizie con funzione nutritiva e di sostegno. In estate può produrre infiorescenze bianco-verdastre , che compaiono isolate o a piccoli gruppi, costituite da uno spadice, protetto da una spata lunga 10-15 cm. di colore crema. Il frutto che segue il fiore di forma conica ha un profumo di banana e ananas e un sapore dolciastro che ricorda sempre l’ananas. Contiene dei “cristalli” che possono pungere la bocca. In commercio se ne trovano diverse varietà tra le quali ricordiamo: “Borsigiana”, che presenta dimensioni più ridotte rispetto a quelle della specie tipo e ”Variegata”, che presenta foglie variegate di giallo o bianco-crema, che tendono poi a diventare completamente verdi.
