I have been told by DG Management that my Monstera Deliciosa plants are not Monstera Deliciosa plants and that I should find out what they are.
Perhaps I can find some help here.
Not a Monstera?
That plant looks a lot like Philodendron lacerum. Definitely not a Monstera of any species.

My concept of Philodendron and Monstera has obviously been very wrong. Not surprising as the experts on their expeditions to Guatemala also got themselves into a mess.
P. lacerum is not listed in the Guatemalan Flora but there is a note that it was said to be found in the Peten but mis identified and was probably P. radiatum. P. radiatum is closer than P. lacerum and is said to have at least 10 variations. It is also deeply pinnatifid with 5 to 10 lobes.
The only fly in the ointment is the spathe which is supposed to have a pale purple interior, mine do not.
That looks a lot like what I've got in the garden. Have never known what it was.
How do u get it to grow in the tree?
I think you'll find that's it natural state. There's 4 stems clinging to that coconut going up to about 8 or 9 metres. There's also roots hanging down as well as running down the palm trunk. Every now and again I cut shoots coming off at ground level and put them up against other trees. They grow really well.
