Plant name: Philodendron Pertusum (Monstera Deliciosa)

Scientific name: Monstera deliciosa

Plant description:
Commonly referred to as Philodendron Pertusum in older classifications, Monstera deliciosa is a large-leaved tropical climber prized for its dramatic split foliage. This vigorous aroid develops thick stems and aerial roots that anchor to supports as it climbs. Indoors, it serves as a bold architectural plant, while outdoors in frost-free climates it can grow into a substantial vine.

Flower description:
Mature plants produce a creamy white spathe surrounding a central spadix. In suitable climates, flowers are followed by elongated edible fruit with a sweet, tropical flavor when fully ripened. Flowering is uncommon indoors and typically occurs on mature plants grown in ideal conditions.

Leaf description:
Leaves are large, glossy, and heart-shaped when young. As the plant matures, foliage develops characteristic splits and oval perforations known as fenestrations. Individual leaves can reach 12–36 Inches long depending on growing conditions and support. The dramatic cut foliage is the primary ornamental feature.

Deciduous or evergreen:
Evergreen tropical perennial.

USDA grow zones:
Zones 10–12 outdoors; grown as a houseplant in all zones.

Mature height and width:
Indoors: 6–10 feet tall with support and 3–5 feet wide.
Outdoors in suitable climates: 20 feet or more as a climbing vine.

Landscape uses:
Used as a statement indoor plant in large containers and open living spaces. Outdoors, it functions as a climbing vine for walls, fences, and large trees in tropical gardens. Suitable for modern interiors, shaded patios, and tropical-style landscapes.

Native range:
Native to southern Mexico and Central America.

Sun exposure:
Bright, indirect light is ideal indoors. Outdoors, partial shade or filtered sunlight supports strong growth. Direct intense sun can scorch leaves, especially in container-grown plants.

Water requirements:
Water when the top 2 Inches of soil are dry. Use a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix that allows airflow to the roots. Avoid standing water, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when growth slows.

Pests and problems:
Common pests include spider mites, thrips, scale, and mealybugs. Yellowing leaves may indicate overwatering. Brown leaf edges can result from low humidity or inconsistent watering. Inadequate light may reduce leaf Size and delay fenestration development.

Heat and sun tolerance:
Thrives in temperatures between 65–85°F. Tolerates warm indoor conditions and moderate humidity. Extended exposure to harsh direct sunlight may cause leaf burn.

Cold tolerance:
Sensitive to cold. Damage occurs below 50°F. Freezing temperatures can kill the plant. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Growing tips:
Provide a sturdy moss pole or climbing support to encourage larger, mature leaves with pronounced splits. Maintain moderate humidity for best foliage quality. Fertilize during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer to support steady development. Clean leaves periodically to remove dust and improve light absorption. Choose a container with drainage holes and avoid compacted soil to promote healthy root growth.

Caveats for the professional tracker
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This is a most excellent resource, arguably the best single tracking book that exists (i would argue so, if i had to pick one! And i recommend this book often). However, if you are in a professional field where this legally matters (EIS or ESA decisions on wolverine/fisher/lynx, etc.), take heed: the authors’ methods of measuring tracks are confusing (i.e. - where is the line between substrate/mammal family to determine when claws or ‘posterior’ pads are or are not used in measuring tracks? ) Also, the claim that “an individual animal can show incredible variation in track size” (p.57) is very misleading… Foot size of an individual animal from birth to adult will obviously change, but will not change in a day for the same-aged individual animal regardless of whether it walks in mud or atop rock. The animal’s foot does not change in size, but its track might appear to. This perceived “change” could be easily avoided by using minimum outline measurements (which are not discussed in this book, but can be found in the work by J. Halfpenny and others). I understand their reasons, but please do not refer to this book for legally defensible measuring techniques of rare species!!!! Also please disregard the negative reviewer who said “it’s a very Mythological Approach to how animals move and walk (jsopel),”- they clearly don’t know what that word means… All in all a well-researched and fantastic book that comes from ample and legitimate experience. A great book and happy tracking!

Good but index needs improvement
Format: Paperback
This is a good, comprehensive guide to tracks and sign. However, there is no index of where to find each family, so in order to find a species you have to flip through the entire book looking for the right page. This makes it annoying to use if you are trying to look up information on a particular species or family.

This is a very useful field manual for those interested in detailed traking methodology.
Format: Paperback
I spent many years as interpreter and ranger for the Colorado State Park System, now called CPW—Colorado Parks and Wildlife. We were annually tasked with surveying a given species' presence, density, and range in the park system and surrounding areas. Detailed field manuals were critical to the accuracy of our work, and HOW I WISH I HAD THIS BOOK DURING THAT PART OF MY CAREER. There are few other books I've come across providing detailed, yet very accessible information on how trail sign reflects animal behavior across different conditions, landscapes, and seasons (both weather seasons and mating seasons). One particular aspect of this book I found significantly intriguing was the section on predation—how does a mountain lion take down a mule deer vs. how wolves bring one down. The locations on a prey animal where a certain predator is most likely to attack, showing illustrations, is a remarkable piece of work, and there authors are clearly masters of interpreting tracks and sign! If you want learn about how mammals behave in their native environment, adding this book to your field manual packet will greatly expand your horizons! Busy it, read it, and get outside! Thank you Mr. Elbroch and Mr. McFarland for adding to the wildlife canon!

Great book and very useful tool to have
Format: Paperback
I had the older edition and lived it, but someone at my last job *borrowed* it and I never saw it again. This edition sends even better than the last, and I have that one five stars. Great pictures and the number of species covered means it's good in at least all states I've worked in.
