Description

Monstera deliciosa is a popular tropical plant known for its large, glossy, and deeply lobed leaves with characteristic holes, giving it the nickname "Swiss Cheese Plant." It is a vigorous climber and can reach impressive sizes, making it a striking addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Flowers

Monstera deliciosa produces cream-colored, spathe-and-spadix type flowers typical of the Araceae family. The flowers are followed by a unique, edible fruit that resembles a green ear of corn, known for its pineapple-banana flavor. However, it rarely flowers indoors.

Foliage

The leaves are the standout feature of this plant. They are large, heart-shaped, and can grow up to 90 cm long. Young leaves are solid and gradually develop holes and deep splits as they mature. The foliage is dark green and glossy, adding a lush, tropical feel to any setting.

Fruit

The fruit, known as Monstera fruit or Ceriman, is elongated and covered in hexagonal scales. It is edible when ripe and tastes like a combination of pineapple and banana. However, it is important to let the fruit ripen fully as unripe fruit can cause irritation.

Form and Size

Monstera deliciosa is a vigorous climber that can reach heights of 3-6 meters or more when provided with support. As a houseplant, it typically reaches around 2-3 meters. It spreads horizontally as well, creating a broad, lush canopy.

Growing Conditions

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, rich organic soil. A mix of potting soil, peat, and perlite or orchid bark is ideal.
  • Sunlight: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: Requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings.
  • Climate: Suitable for tropical and subtropical climates. It prefers warm, humid conditions and should be protected from frost.

Uses

  • Landscaping: Ideal for tropical-themed gardens and as a statement plant in outdoor landscapes. It can also be grown on patios and balconies.
  • Indoor Plant: Highly popular as a houseplant due to its striking foliage and adaptability to indoor conditions. It can be trained to climb a moss pole or trellis.
  • Ornamental: The large, perforated leaves provide a bold, exotic look that enhances the aesthetic of any space.

Maintenance

  • Pruning: Minimal pruning required. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain appearance. Trim back if the plant becomes too large.
  • Fertilizing: Benefits from regular feeding with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season.
  • Pest and Disease: Generally pest-resistant but can be susceptible to spider mites, scale, and mealybugs. Ensure good air circulation to minimize disease risk.

Notes

Monstera deliciosa is a fast-growing and easy-to-care-for plant that adds a touch of the tropics to any environment. Its impressive foliage and robust growth make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts and interior designers.

Great book but disappointing kindle experience
Format: Kindle
A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the troubled and racist history of voting rights in the US. My only complaint is that the Kindle version of this book messes up the footnotes. The great thing about reading on the Kindle is that you don't have to flip back and forth to check the footnote cites; you only have to click on them. Sadly, the footnotes aren't correct in the Kindle version of the book. They somehow were shifted by one, as I was able to confirm in my hardcover copy, completely ruining the experience if you wish to read more about a specific incident. This is inexcusable in my mind, but I won't hurt the rating for this book by taking off a star.

Activist history
Format: Hardcover
Anderson quite thoroughly explodes the myth of the rampant voter fraud claims that fuel the actual problem of rampant voter disenfranchisement, particularly aimed at non-whites. And, by extension, Anderson explodes the myth of the United States being a free and open democracy and shows us how much we still have to do to live up to the national image some of us like to think we put out to the world. From the illegal purging of voter registrations, to gerrymandering, to voter intimidation, Anderson offers up the facts of the racist policies that look to keep elections in the hands of white patriarchy and suppress its opponents. While Anderson sometimes resorts to some typical metaphors in her rhetoric (false comparisons to Stalin, for example, or Orwell name drops) that could too easily be cherry-picked by dull-minded opponents looking to poke holes in an otherwise fine case of what should be enraging us into action.

You will never look at voting the same again.
Format: Kindle
A well written, easy to understand, and eye opening book which details the problems with our current political system and the efforts to control the vote in order to keep the power and the money in the hands of the few. Well worth reading and will shift your view of voting and the difficulties many of our citizens face.

A must-read for every American
Format: Hardcover
This book is a must-read for every American. It starts as a historical lesson about voting rights and how they have evolved and devolved over the years and ends with a very detailed real time discussion of current voter suppression, gerrymandering, and election fraud. The greatest lesson I learned from it is that our voting experiences are absolutely determined by our zip codes. It is extremely relevant to what is happening today and in our very recent past. This book should be required reading in every high school and college American History, Civics and Government class un America.
