Mini Monstera (Raphidophora Tetrasperma)
These super easy to care for plants are a native to southern Thailand and Malaysia. They get their common name of Mini Monstera from the similarity in leaf shape to that of Monstera deliciosa.
Although they are in the same family (Araceae) and have a very similar habit and care requirements, they are actually part of the genu Raphidophora, not Monstera.
Watering
Wait until the top 2-3cm centimetres of soil in the pot has dried out before watering heavily. Water less in in the cooler month to replicate the tropical dry season. These guys are pretty tolerant if you miss a watering or two but you will see noticeable increases in growth during the summer months if you remember to water regularly.
Position
Bright indirect light and a humid position is what these guys love. They are pretty tolerant of cooler temperatures, although they are not a fan of frost.
Managing growth
They will be delivered at about 20cm tall by 20cm wide. This is however a fast growing plant with a mature leaf size of approximately 15cm x 10cm and a climbing habit that makes it great for training up a bare wall.
Greeting your Mini Monstera
We package Mini Monstera in an approximately 140mm plastic pot within our unique plant packaging system. If you purchase a ceramic pot in the same order we will transport it together in the one delivery.

No Plant Stress
Our plant packaging is designed by people know how to keep plants fresh and healthy in transit. Your plants will enjoy a comfortable trip directly from our greenhouse to your door in just a few of days. Your plant will not have to deal with the stress of being bare rooted for transport (how most plants are sent) and you won’t have to deal with the mess and fuss of potting up your new plant when you receive it.
Stability Support
The plastic pot will be wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in place, it will then be tied into a specially designed cardboard insert which will keep it stable and upright throughout its journey. The insert will be glued in place on top of your cardboard wrapped ceramic pot to hold it down and your plant up!
No Re-Potting
Your plant will come in its plastic pot which we make sure fits perfectly in whichever ceramic pot you choose. Our packaging has been designed to allow us to send your beautiful ceramic pot along with your plant, fully potted, yep in soil, together in the same box.
