	Monstera deliciosa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monstera deliciosa (also called ceriman, monstereo, Swiss Cheese Plant, Mexican breadfruit, window leaf, and splitleaf philodendron) is a tropical creeping vine native to Mexico and Guatemala, known for its delicious but initially poisonous fruit.
		Monstera deliciosa can be grown in a number of locations, from tropical to desert to indoors.
		The seedlings of Monstera deliciosa will grow towards the darkest area they can find until they find a tree to latch onto, at which point they start to grow up towards the light, creeping up the tree.

	Floridata: Monstera deliciosa
		Monstera deliciosa occurs naturally in the tropical jungles of Central America from southern Mexico to Panama.
		Windowleaf was formerly grown in greenhouses in England for the edible fruits, called cerimans or monsteras, and is still cultivated for that purpose (outdoors) in parts of Central America, Australia, California and South Florida.
		The genus Monstera is closely related to Philodendron, and windowleaf is sometimes called split-leaf or cut-leaf philodendron because it was formerly classified in that genus.
