Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma

The Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma, commonly referred to as the Mini Monstera or Philodendron Ginny, is a Type 3 plant. Despite its nickname, it's not a true Monstera but shares similar split leaves that give it a tropical, lush appearance. This fast-growing climber is perfect for adding a touch of the jungle to any indoor space, with its fenestrated leaves and compact size making it a popular choice among houseplant enthusiasts.

Good to Know

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light which encourages the development of its distinctive split leaves. Can tolerate lower light conditions, but leaf fenestration may be less pronounced.
• Water: Enjoys consistent moisture. Water when the top layer of soil starts to dry out, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Thrives in a well-draining, fertile soil mix. A non-peat based mix with good aeration is recommended.
• Temperature: Prefers warm and stable temperatures. Protect from cold drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity: Enjoys high humidity. Consider using a humidifier or placing the plant in a naturally humid area to maintain ideal conditions.
• Growth: A vigorous grower, it can be trained on a moss pole or allowed to trail, offering versatility in plant styling.
• Origin: Native to Southeast Asia, it's known for its resemblance to the Monstera but in a more manageable size for indoor gardening.

Who's it for?

The Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma is ideal for those who love the look of the Monstera but have limited space. Its ease of care and rapid growth make it a fantastic choice for both novice and experienced plant lovers looking to add a touch of the tropics to their indoor garden.
