Origin

The species Monstera deliciosa is native to the tropical rain forests of Central America, where it grows as a climbing aroid that works its way up along tree trunks.

In its natural habitat, the plant develops in warm, moist forests where light is filtered through the canopy. The plant forms aerial roots with which it attaches to trees as it grows toward the light.

The form borsigiana is often used within horticulture to replace the faster-growing and slightly more slender-growing form of Monstera deliciosa. The variety 'Full Mint {Variegata}' is a rare selection in which the foliage shows partial mint-colored variety.
