Mini Monstera
Botanical Name: Rhaphidophora tetrasperma
Light:
Bright, indirect light. Indoors, even a bit of direct sun is fine. If moved outside for a summer vacation, a shady spot with only dappled sunlight or it can burn.
Water Requirement:
During the spring and summer months, when actively growing they like to be watered more frequently and can be kept on the damp side. In the fall and winter, they can be sensitive to overwatering and won’t protest if you forget to water occasionally.
Fertilizer:
Feed when the plant is actively growing (Spring + Summer).
Growth Habit:
These plants are fast growing and love to climb! Be sure to give them proper support— a moss pole, totem or trellis works great!
Noteworthy Characteristics:
Easy to grow, easy to propagate and share with others! A simple way to propagate is with stem cuttings. Simply cut the plant with a section that includes one or two nodes. Then place in water and once a good root system is established pot up the rooted cutting a in well-draining potting mix.
Pro Tips:
A nice chunky, well-draining soil is KEY. A mix that is going to have plenty of aeration and stay moist, but never soggy. We blend our own custom aroid mix that works well with these and many other plants from this family.
