モンステラに花が咲きました。
ネットからの引用です。
- 特徴: 白い花びらのように見えるのは「仏炎苞」で、中心の棒状部分(肉穂花序)に小さな花が密集します。
- 希少性: 家庭栽培では滅多に咲かず、成熟した大きな株で、環境が最適(日当たり・温度)な場合のみ開花します。
- 実: 開花後、緑の鱗状の実になり、熟すとバナナやパイナップルのような味で食用可能です。
- 花言葉の由来: 葉の切れ込みから光が差し込む様子から「嬉しい便り」や「壮大な計画」が名付けられました。
- 開花条件: 十分な日光(レースカーテン越し)、高い湿度、適切な温度管理が重要です。
- 非常に珍しいため、開花は「植物からの幸福な贈り物」とも言われています。
中心の棒状部分(肉穂花序)は食用になるそうです。
食べられるように成熟するまで1年かかるそうです。
味はパイナップルとバナナをミックスしたような味だそうです。
My Monstera has bloomed.
Quoted from the internet.
Characteristics: The white petals are the spathe, and small flowers are densely packed around the central rod-shaped part (spadix).
Rarity: When grown at home, it rarely blooms; it blooms only on large, mature plants under optimal conditions (sunlight and temperature).
Fruit: After flowering, it turns into green, scaly fruit that is edible when ripe and tastes like a banana or a pineapple.
Origin of the flower's meaning: The way light shines through the slits in the leaves gives it its name, meaning "happy news" or "grand plan."

Because it is so rare, its blooming is also said to be "a happy gift from the plant."
