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

From: "John" <criswick at spiceisle.com> on 2010.09.04 at 21:19:31 Could it have anything to do with it being a high altitude species?   John.

All the other Monstera species, Philodendrons and Epipremnums usually stay in the juvenile form in pot culture and need humid tropical conditions and climb on a support to reach the adult form. Even the they can easily revert to the juvenile form if returned to normal house conditions. But not M. deliciosa. Why?
