Rhaphidophora tetrasperma

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, or "Mini Monstera," is a compact climbing aroid with distinct heart-shaped, fenestrated leaves. This fast-growing plant brings the classic split-leaf appearance of Monstera deliciosa into a smaller, elegant form perfect for indoor spaces.

  • Light: Bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the delicate foliage. East or north-facing windows work well.
  • Temperature: Warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-79°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity levels of 50-70%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other plants.
  • Watering: Water when top inch of soil feels dry. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging.

Additional Notes:

Benefits from a moss pole or trellis to encourage climbing and larger fenestrations. Rapid growth habit makes it perfect for filling spaces quickly. Excellent beginner-friendly alternative to Monstera deliciosa with similar aesthetic appeal.
