Monster Deliciosa are from Central America and are famous for the holes in their leaves. Monstera deliciosa is a species of evergreen tropical vine that is a part of Araceae, the aroid family. It is one of the few aroids which produces edible fruit, hence the species epithet deliciosa. However, it's incredibly rare that a Monstera will flower or produce fruit indoors.
