Common Names: Mini Monstera

The Mini Monstera, or Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma, is the ideal house plant due to its cute split leaves, ease of care, and fast growth rate. This easy-care beauty can live in low to bright, dappled indirect light and enjoys weekly waterings and frequent misting.

Light Requirements

Bright, indirect light is ideal but it will tolerate lower light as well.

Water Requirements

Enjoys a deep watering once the soil has mostly (or completely) dried out. Tip: It is always better to underwater than to overwater. 

Troubleshooting and Tips

Scorched foliage or pale leaves is a sign that your plant is getting too much direct light. 

Brown edges on the foliage are most commonly caused by dry air; check to see if your plant is near a heat source, air conditioner, or draught. 

Yellow leaves are usually due to overwatering. If multiple leaves turn yellow and drop suddenly, it might be due to cold draughts. 

Pet Friendly

No.

Taking care of plants is not a one size fits all kind of thing.  Knowing what your plant likes and doesn't like takes time. Our guide is here to help you, but it is not the end-all of guides. So if you find that something isn't working, change it up! Remember, every home provides a different environment and climate for your plant.
