Plant Biography

The Monstera Deliciosa is native to rainforests of Central America from southern Mexico to Panama. Although it stays relatively compact indoors, in its natural environment it is considered to be a jungle giant! It is considered to be an epiphytic vine and can grow up to 70 feet or more! In spite of its common name, it's not in the Philodendron family but instead in the genus of Araceae.
