I've just recently started growing them and my plants aren't mature enough to flower yet. I'm only growing the variegated monstera and it's been really interesting so far. I got my plants from a collector in Cincinnati and they always have fruit on their plants. They sent me a photo a couple days ago of a huge grouping of fruit. Their plants also have huge leaves and the last photo I saw had 43" leaves. Once the plant reaches maturity it will fruit regularly.
If you keep them in a small pot and don't water them much they will stay small but probably won't fruit.
If you have space and a large pot these plants will fruit and probably be the easiest tropical plant you've ever grown.
These plants are considered mildly invasive in the tropics and mine have grown about and inch and a half per month so if you have limited mobility that might be a problem.
The leaves on my plant are in the mid 40" range, the stem is less than 18" in length and thicker than a one liter soda bottle.
