I took a Monstera to the offices where I worked. The lab people
claimed it and it lived happily there for years.

Problem with a Monstera is that it can get pretty wide - I've got one which
is now about 12 years old. It's about 7 - 8' high, but the leaves stretch
out about 3' with each leaf up to 1 1/2 ' wide!! It did use to live in the
hall before I moved and survived on relatively little light and some
neglect. In my new home it's actually too big for the living room where it
now is. I'm thinking of selling it. Any ideas?
