Re: [Aroid-l] "minature" M. deliciosa??

**<a*@wp.pl>**

Hello,

This "compact" Monstera deliciosa is named M.d. "Borsigiana" or sometimes

M.d. var. borsigiana, but this is rather a cultivar, not a natural variety.

The largest leaf I've seen was about 40 cm (1' 4") in diameter.

Don't be deceived by the filename "pertusa", once I thought it was M.

pertusa, and I don't change filenames in my website because some other sites

have direct links to my pages.

Greetings

Dear All,

A question--what is the status of the existence of a true 'minature' clone

of Monstera deliciosa, and what, it it does exist, are the measurements of

a MATURE leaf of this mimature?????

I THINK I remember a discussion on this back when we exchanged ideas about

the non-existence of the 'red-varigated' clone of the same species which,

I believe, turned out to be a photo-shopped/modified picture of the

white-varigated variety of this species.

I THINK I recall someone saying that the common and BIG clone of this was

a selection from the wild, and if one went back to the area where this

plant occured in Coastal Mexico, one would have difficulty in finding such

a large clone, most wild plants of this species were substantially smaller

that the big one we see everywhere in cultivation Worldwide.

Any information would be welcome!

Good Growing!

Julius
