Rhaphidopora Tetrasperma 'Mini Monstera'

Description

• Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma has been nicknamed Mini Monstera due to its resemblance to Monstera Deliciosa. 
  
• Just like the Monstera, Rhaphidophora is and Aroid (member of the Araceae family).
  
• This tropical plant is a climber and can grow quite long, depending on its position and size of the pot.
• Rhaphidopora Tetrasperma has green leaves that start out as pale green and mature into a darker green colour, creating a nice contrast between old and new growth.
  
• The leaves will grow holes which will later split open, just like with Monstera Deliciosa.
  

Position & Care

• Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma is a fantastic indoor plant that will forgive a little neglect, though beware that neglect may cause browning or yellowing.
  
• It can also be grown outdoors in the shade/ filtered light. A little morning sun will not hurt it.
• The best spot for this plant is close to a window which will see it grow well. The Mini Monstera will also deal with deeper shade, but the growth may be a bit slower.
  
• To help it along, mist every few days (this is not essential)
• Water regularly, though do not keep oversaturated or sitting in waterlogged potting mix.
• For a nice, large plant, re-pot to a bigger pot every year and feed with a slow-release fertilizer throughout the growing season.

Suggestions

• Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma is ideal for pots.
• It can be left hanging or trailing the walls. 
• A totem or another structure (loop/ plant ladder) can be used to train into a shape.
• Can be planted in a tropical garden in a climate with no frost.
