EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the lush, verdant foliage of a Banana Monstera Deliciosa, also known by various names such as Fruit Salad Plant, Cariman, Mexican Breadfruit, Locust and Wild Honey, Windowleaf, Monsterio, and Swiss Cheese Plant. Dating back to 1892, this historical image transports us to a time when the exotic allure of the tropical world was just beginning to captivate the imagination of the western world. The Banana Monstera Deliciosa is not only renowned for its intriguing nomenclature but also for its unique appearance. With its large, glossy leaves that can grow up to 3 feet long, this plant is a true marvel of nature. The aerial roots, which resemble small bananas, add to its distinctive character. The Banana Monstera Deliciosa has a rich history, with its origins believed to be in Central and South America. It was first described by the botanist Karl Friedrich Philipp von Martius in 1824. The plant was later introduced to Europe in the late 19th century, where it became a popular addition to the hothouses of the wealthy. The Banana Monstera Deliciosa was also believed to have medicinal properties. The sap was used to treat wounds, and the plant was thought to have aphrodisiac qualities. In Mexico, the sap was mixed with wild honey to make a potent elixir. Today, the Banana Monstera Deliciosa remains a popular houseplant, admired for its stunning foliage and the intrigue it brings to any indoor space. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and wonder that lies within the natural world, waiting to be discovered.
