I just discovered monsteras produce fruit you can actually eat – houseplant experts say it's delicious and reveal exactly how to achieve a harvest

Monstera fruit and flowers.

My Monstera deliciosa is the houseplant I'm most proud of. It has almost tripled in size since I first bought it a few years ago, climbing a moss pole and pushing out new leaves each year with beautiful fenestrations. But, it has taken me this long to discover monstera fruit and flowers are a thing, and it turns out they're some of the most shapely and tasty ones to exist.

It makes sense that the fruit tastes good, since it has 'deliciosa' in the name, but not many plant parents realize monstera fruit and flowers exist because monstera care in a non-tropical home environment is unlikely to encourage their development. However, this isn't to say it's entirely impossible.
