Rhaphidophora tetrasperma — Mini Monstera

Description

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a fast vine with split green leaves. It gives a bold leaf look in a small space. Many people call it Mini Monstera.

Give the vine a pole or small frame to climb. Keep it in bright, soft light. For a plant with a like look, see Monstera adansonii.

Light and Water

A little weak sun in the morning is fine. Hot sun may burn the leaves. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Let all extra water drain out.

Do not let the pot sit in water. Use loose soil that drains fast. Bark and perlite can add more air for the roots.

Growth and Use

Warm rooms help it grow. You can train the stems up or let them trail. For another easy plant for the home, see our Variegated Spider Plant.

Trim long stems if you want a full shape. Move it to a new pot when roots fill the old pot. It also looks good near a small trailing plant such as Golden Turtle Vine.
