Your right about how they act in nature. Palms have the same type of fruits as monsteras, & they basically explode from the middle throwing the fruit with seeds a couple of feet at most from the base. Most of these plants grow in dried leaves & compost material above the actual "soil" the roots of most of them never even reach the soil until they have climbed a tree & sent down air roots. Even those mostly just attach to dried leaves & compost. I would suggest putting the seeds in a composted medium in one of those plastic packs you sometimes find vegetables in at the grocery store. it stays closed, has air holes, & is easy to keep moist. I would keep that mix in a shady area (not dark) that does not get direct sunlight as that would simply cook the seeds. Put them in a basic germination area like you would any other seeds that like a little light & warmth to germinate, & your seeds should be fine.
