      Whaaat, I have a decently-sized monstera at home and I didn’t know this either! I’m going to see if I can convince it to fruit !

        I’ve had some for years and didn’t even know they could flower or fruit, kind of sad :(

          From what I have gathered, they need to experience sustained hot and humid tropical-like weather to be convinced to flower… So it can be tricky!

      They can only be eaten as the sections ripen and fall off. They may also need prolonged cooking due to calcium oxalate, like taro.

        What? What parts are you eating? I’ve eaten the fruit, raw, and nobody ever told me it needed cooking
