Default Best flowering plants to grow indoors...

Hi Rob,

Monstera deliciosa, also called Swiss Cheese Plant, is an excellent
choice.


I had one of these as a houseplant for many years when I was a child.
When I got older, I put it in the ground. It loved the sun and soil.
After a few years in the ground, it started to flower. Walking by
one day, I smelled something sweet. Looking, I found a fruit on the
ground, covered by ants. I looked it up and was surprised to find it
was edible. Now I watch the fruit, and get them when they are ripe,
before the ants. Yummmm.

If anybody wants a large specimen, and lives close to Garden Grove CA, let
me know. I will share, if you promise to give it a good home.
