Re: [Aroid-l] Holes

From: "E.Vincent Morano" <ironious2 at yahoo.com> on 2012.02.27 at 02:16:47(22626) If these are tropical plants then perhaps is is so they dont get destroyed in tropical storms. If the plants have a weak root system and coulds easily bee uprooted then I think this is the likely reason. But now another question arises; Were they created like this or were the leaves full and somewhere along they line developed holes in them to adapt?

A typical example would be Monstera deliciosa.
