Monstera acuminata a tree trunk, it uses its ageotropic anchoring roots to grow vertically. The adult plant appears similar to that of "Monstera deliciosa" and these leaves are developed when the plant reaches 15 feet and is an example of an example of dimorphism. The leaves are smooth or papillose stem 2-3.5 cm thick with internodes 6–11 cm long. After it grows upwards, the base of the stem of the hemiepiphyte dies and rots, thereby losing its connection to the soil. Monstera acuminata Monstera acuminata, or shingle plant, is a species of flowering plant from Araceae family which is widespread from Mexico
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
