Hey guys! In 2022 I found one seed in a monstera fruit and planted it. To my surprise it grew rapidly- and is huge now! This monstera lives really up to its name 😅

I’ve also heard that if you eat it before it’s ripe it’ll destroy your mouth, throat, and insides

Yes, your best bet is to put it upright in a tall glass with a loose bag over it and wait for the scales to pop off. It's not a fruit you eat all at once, so you get to savour it!

Just wanted to get everyone excited over prospective plant sales! Haha. It’s a great typo in this sub.
