split leaf philodendron

I need some help on some info on a split leaf. I'll show ya'll a couple of pix of my plant, It started blooming the othe day. Looks like it might have a fruit on it. I probably should not have done this, but the day after it closed, which was the day after it bloomed, there was some white stuff coming out of the top of the closed bloom. So I placed it between my fingers and it felt kind of like a ripe banana, so I had to taste it and it tasted kind of like a banana, ( probably poisonous ). Let me know something. Here's the pix. Thanks Mike.

Here's a pic of the bloom of the philodendron.

are you still alive... I don't know i heard "don't try it" but you can eat the fruit off of it... but mine has bloomed forever and never fruited..

WOW!! I got mine last summer (a HUGE one) and so far I have never seen it flower OR fruit!! Where do you have it--full sun, full or part shade?? Maybe I need to move mine? Bonnie

Well I'm still alive. I really didn't that much of the what ever it was I ate. It has closed up now and it's just as hard as it was before it opened now. well at least on the out side. Here's a pic of what it looks like now

oh I forgot, I've got the plant on my porch where it gets very little sun.

Yeah--mine is in a corner next to the back porch where I don't think it gets ANY direct sun though of course there is light there. Kind of shady area though. It is happily making new leaves so guess it is fine!! Bonnie

mine just open up, close, then turn brown a fall off..

Yeah, our philodendrons here prefer morning sun or simply shade to afternoon sun/full sun. Dappled shade is good.
