ABSTRACT Swiss cheese plant [Monstera deliciosa Liebm.] is an economically important house plant grown in the garden of Agri- Horticultural Society of India at Kolkata, West Bengal. At the study location anthracnose disease appeared regularly on the cheese plant foliage leading to devastating damage. Symptoms appeared on leaf tips as light brown necrotic areas over which dot like acervuli were scattered on lower surface bordered by dark brown smooth margins. Acervuli were black, superficial, erumpent and 253.6 – 712.3 x 222.0 – 460.5 µ in size with black, 1-3 septate, 110.0 – 175.9 x 42.8 – 69.7µ sized setae. Conidia were hyaline, single celled, cylindrical to rod shaped with rounded ends and 21.0 – 34.1 x 4.2 – 7.6 µ in size. On the peptone agar medium (PAM) identified as ideal medium for acervuli production and sporulation, the hyphae produced were hyaline, septate, diameter varied from 10.3 – 22.4 µ.

    Fact Sheet FPS-414 October, 1999 Monstera deliciosa1 Edward F. Gilman2 Introduction The beautiful, huge, dark green, deeply-lobed, leathery leaves of Split-Leaf Philodendron almost appear to have been delicately cut with scissors (Fig. 1). These attractive evergreen leaves, up to 36 inches long and wide, are abundantly produced on thickened petioles secured to vigorous vines which quickly climb up any shaded tree trunk, providing the garden with a lush, exotic quality. These vines are capable of reaching 30 feet or more in length but can easily be kept shorter by trimming the terminal new growth. Smaller plants grown in containers on totem poles are quite popular as interior plants.

  • Light and Moisture Requirements for Selected Indoor Plants
    Light and Moisture Requirements For Selected Indoor Plants The following list includes most of the indoor plants that you will be growing. This list contains information on how large the plant will get at maturity, which light level is best for good growth, how much you should be feeding your indoor plants and how much water is required for healthy growth. The list gives the scientific name and, in parenthesis, the common name. Always try to remember a plant by its scientific name, because some plants have many common names but only one scientific name. The following descriptions define the terms used in the following material. Light Levels Low - Minimum high level of 25-foot candles, preferred level of 75- to 200-foot candles.
