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.

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.
We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.
Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
