Not as cold as Europe - Australia has cold snaps though (and in Summer we can get up to and over 45 degree's Celsius) - that last for a few days probably at most.
It gets to just below zero occasionally; in fact they said this morning it was the coldest Day of the year (so far) at 1 Deg Celsius this early am - only once or twice a year (usually - but everything is a bit Topsy turvey - with Global weather change) - and our winters would be considered Summery to most Europeans and other parts of the world. The maximums for the rest of this week are only 15 or so Degree's - freezing for me - I don't like the cold . . .
Just out of interest - where are you located Urufu1997? - and how cold does it get where you are? And do you have to grow it indoors or in a Greenhouse?
But where I live is higher elevation than most of Queensland and relatively South in the huge State of Queensland - so we get a strange mix of Tropical, Semi Tropical and Temperate/Cold Climate. In other Western parts of Queensland it snows a lot in Winter (now) too. They are regularly below Zero and have snow and frost.
Here, where I live 550 metres elevation, we can grow colder climate plants - Azaleas, Blue Berries, Rhododendron species - Tropical and Colder climate varieties, Roses, Huge amount of Ferns, Epiphytes and Rain-forest Trees, shrubs and climbers. As well as Tropical Plants - Bananas, Tropical Palms, Cordylines, Bromiliads, - the list is massive.
The soil is also Red Volcanic - for the mountain is part of the rim of an extinct volcano and there is Semi Tropical Rain Forest everywhere. The Glass House Mountains are here too.
Something interesting - the fruit of the Monstera is delicious - but has this black lining around the white fleshy pieces you eat - The black layer splits into tiny fragments and if you do not wash the black lining/bits away before eating - they stick to your tongue and it is the most peculiar sensation that you will never forget. Your tongue literally has to be scraped clean and it is a totally strange and uncomfortable experience. I know people who will not eat it again after this common eating experience - so if you have the chance to eat it - always wash it and get all the black stuff off . . . But the amazing fruit salad smell and taste is worth eating it - here, they call it the fruit salad plant - for it smells and tastes exactly like eating a fresh bowl of tropical fruit salad - common names vary way too much - I've never heard it called the Swiss Cheese plant. Also - a variegated Hybrid Monstera looking plant just sold for $27000 in New Zealand - there was a frenzied bidding war.
Weather seems to be changing pretty quickly now - we are getting more tropical and need our open fire less too. I love Sago palms/Cycads - they grow naturally right up and down the Australian East Coast - so many species of them. Cairns has them all right next to the Aqua coloured ocean - right down to the beach and sand - it is amazing and beautiful to see. There are thousands of them dotted up and down the mountains of the coastal road. One of the State Forests near here (near Glasshouse) has a few endemic species that have fine needle thin foliage and the plant, when seen from a distance, looks feathery.
