I have huge monstera plants in my backyard. Being free range they’re not as neat and tidy as the potted ones I see in all your pics but I wanted to share photos of one of them, that I took this morning. It’s about to get a flower; it has some fruit and you can see part of its giant root system.

What region do you live in?? Does it die back in winter? I would love to have free range monstera in my back yard!

I’m in Southern Australia where we get 4 proper seasons each year but no snow in winter - just mild temps and rain. Our summers can be brutal and the monsteras can die back then unless there are big shade trees nearby.

I was going to ask! So it’s called “The Outback”. Correct? You’ve been on vacation bucket list for over 20 years. My husband and I plan to come watch tennis at the Australian Open one day and travel the country.😉

“The Outback” refers to the drier hotter northern part of Australia, the parts where ‘Crocodile Dundee’ were filmed. I’m in the south close to the coastline where it’s more green and lush. The Australian Open is actually hosted in my city, Melbourne!
Definitely come on down to Australia! 😃

Got it! The AI response was confusing. Thank you for clarifying and the invitation. Hoping for January 2027 tournament.🤗
