Why will I love it?
This is perfect for bringing the beauty of the tropics into small spaces, as it’s a more compact version than most of the leafy tropical plants out there. Its charming appearance, combined with relatively easy care, makes the mini monstera (Rhaphidophora tetrasperma) a favourite among plant lovers.
Light or shade?
The plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but sunlight will help promote healthy growth.
Where should I put it?
It looks stunning cascading from a suspended pot, adorning a shelf or climbing a moss pole. Place it near an east-facing window in your front room.
How do I keep it alive?
It’s essential to maintain a warm, moist environment – try misting or placing the pot on a wet pebble tray. However, this plant can generally tolerate normal household humidity. Keep the room temperatures above 13C. Water weekly during the growing season, and in the winter allow the soil to dry out before watering.
