Monstera deliciosa blooming, a rare sight: flower stalk as thick as an arm, mimicking nature, even potted plants bloom

The Little Gardener hasn't written about Monstera deliciosa for a long time. Honestly, Monstera deliciosa is one of my favorite potted plants. I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to gather material. Today what I want to share with fellow flower lovers is the wild Monstera deliciosa I recently came across. It's growing extremely well and is currently blooming. I reckon many flower lovers have never seen a Monstera deliciosa bloom. Come take a look.

1. Monstera deliciosa blooming, a rare sight

This is the flower of Monstera deliciosa. We can look at the other side. The Little Gardener endured the risk of mosquito bites to take these photos for you. Remember to give me a like when you see this. Enough boasting about my efforts, let's look at the other side of the flower:

This is the other side of the Monstera deliciosa flower. This kind of Monstera deliciosa is the most common variety. The several plants I found are growing under a bridge, with no one tending them, living off the sky, yet they grew healthily and even produced flowers. Being able to bloom shows the growth is very good. Many flower lovers have kept Monstera deliciosa at home for a long time and never seen it bloom.

2. Mimicking the ecological environment makes care easier

Comparing with a hand, the Monstera deliciosa flower is actually quite large. From its wild environment, the Little Gardener can deduce one thing: Monstera deliciosa prefers a shaded environment, because by the river the humidity is sufficient, and a shaded, moist environment suits its growth better. So when caring for them at home, remember to place them somewhere without strong light, and second, frequently use a spray bottle to mist and increase humidity, which benefits its growth.

3. Pursuing the split-leaf effect, growing leaves well is fundamental

Let's look at this leaf again. This leaf is at least 50 cm or more in width. A leaf this big must have taken at least 3 years to grow. Many owners pursue the split-leaf effect when growing Monstera deliciosa at home. In the Little Gardener's view, growing the leaves well is the prerequisite for a good split-leaf effect. So when caring for them at home, it's best to use green, safe organic nutrient solution to supplement fertilizer, strengthen the roots and grow the leaves.

This last one should be the seed left after blooming, which is what the white column inside looks like when it matures. Quite a few owners say they've never seen the fruit. Actually, you can also achieve this effect by growing Monstera deliciosa at home, provided we do well the two basic care techniques the Little Gardener mentioned above.
