Monstera deliciosa black irritant fibres can be swept off with the application of a little citrus juice. Plants grown indoors in temperate regions occasionally produce flowers and fruit. Although consumed in tropical countries, it takes a long time (up to a year) for fruits to reach maturity. Before it is unconscious because very sour, even toxic in high doses. As a result, Monstera deliciosa has never been grown industrially for its fruit. This plant lives in the humid tropical forests, in the lowlands and middle mountains, in the extreme south of Mexico and also in Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama. The
Plant tolerance to herbivory Erb "et al." 2009). However, the importance of this mechanism to tolerance is not well studied and it is unknown how much it contributes to tolerance since stored reserves mostly consist of carbon resources, whereas tissue damage causes a loss of carbon, nitrogen and other nutrients (Tiffin 2000). This form of tolerance relies on constitutive mechanisms, such as morphology, at the time of damage, unlike the induced mechanisms mentioned above. Plant architecture includes roots to shoots ratios, stem number, stem rigidity and plant vasculature (Marquis 1996, Tiffin 2000). A high roots to shoots ratio will allow plants to better absorb
