Could it have anything
to do with it being a high altitude species?

Subject: [Aroid-l] Why is Monstera
deliciosa to be kept in the adult form inpot culture?
Dear all,
Does anybody know why M. deliciosa keeps its adult form in
"captivity"? 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?
Ferenc
