Giant Monstera

Our landscapers came by last week to clean up our yard. They did a great job.

One of the things they tackled was the giant monstera, which was overgrown with decaying leaves.

The giant monstera is really huge. It is larger than the usual potted monstera grown inside your home.

The monstera grows well in a tropical, humid environment like Hawaii.

There are 51 varieties.

This is what the leaf looks like compared to the human hand:

This is how it looks in my backyard:

The root system looks like a snake, doesn’t it?

We kind of like it.

It’s an interesting plant. Very unusual. Not your usual ornamental plant.

We inherited it from the previous owner of this house.

I think we’ll keep this thing in our backyard for now.

After all, what else could we possibly grow there?
