Also known as the 'Mini Monstera', Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a vining plant with small glossy green leaves that develop fenestrations as they mature. Growth on this plant is fast and its ease of care makes a highly sought-after plant in the market. Interestingly, the mini monstera technically doesn’t belong to the Monstera or the Philodendron family, simply share in their looks.
In contrast to the popular Monstera Deliciosa, the mini monstera sees holes in its leaves at an early age. Mini Monstera prefers bright indirect light and high humidity for the best growth.
Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, often referred to as Mini Monstera, is a natural climber. In its native habitat, it uses its aerial roots to cling to trees and other structures, rapidly ascending toward the sunlight. When grown indoors, this trait makes it perfect for training on trellises or moss poles, allowing you to create a lush, vertical display with ease.
Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is native to the tropical regions of Thailand and Malaysia. Despite its resemblance to the Monstera deliciosa, it’s part of the Rhaphidophora genus, a group of climbing plants found throughout Southeast Asia. Its distinctive look and fast-growing nature have made it a popular choice for plant enthusiasts worldwide.
