The iconic 'Swiss Cheese Plant' from Central American rainforests became an Instagram sensation for good reason. Those dramatic splits (fenestrations) aren't just beautiful, in nature, they help the plant withstand strong winds and allow light to reach lower leaves. Young plants start with solid leaves, developing signature holes as they mature. Its fruit (monstera means 'monstrous') is actually edible when ripe, tasting like a mix of pineapple and banana.
