Fun Fact about Monstera: Why the Holes in the Leaves?
One of the most fascinating traits of the Monstera Deliciosa is its fenestrated (split) leaves. These holes are thought to allow light to reach lower leaves in its natural habitat or to make the leaves more resistant to tearing in strong winds. This evolutionary adaptation has made it a favorite among plant enthusiasts not only for its appearance but also for its resilience.
History of the Monstera Deliciosa
Native to the tropical rainforests of Mexico and Panama, the Monstera Deliciosa gets its name from the delicious fruit it bears in the wild. While it’s rare for indoor plants to produce fruit, the name 'Deliciosa' refers to the pineapple-like flavor of its fruits, which are often called "Mexican breadfruit." Its unique aesthetic and hardiness have made it a popular plant worldwide, particularly since the mid-20th century when it became a staple in modern home decor.
