A close relative of the hands-down favorite, the Monstera deliciosa, the Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma, commonly known as the Mini Monstera or Philodendron Ginny, is a tropical vine with aerial roots that is easy to care for and will reward you with fast growth.

Named for looking just like a Monstera deliciosa or Split Leaf Philodendron at a miniature scale (these leaves won’t get bigger than 12”), they share many of the same traits and care requirements. The Mini Monstera is a sought-after addition for any indoor garden and is the perfect houseplant for bringing a touch of the tropics indoors. Featuring unique foliage, like holes and split leaves, this plant is an eye-catcher that conveniently is also low-maintenance. 

Specifications:

Appearance: Displays shiny, waxy, wide leaves that appear either whole, split, or cut. This vibrantly green plant has aerial roots that reach upwards to help the plant climb in its natural habitat. As such, it will enjoy an indoor location with plenty of room to grow out and up.

Enjoys: Since it’s native to tropical forests, the Monstera does prefer warmth, high humidity, and indirect light. But as long as the temperature is above 65°F, it can mostly tolerate low to high light and low to high air moisture.

Care: For watering, allow the soil to partially dry out before watering again. The best lighting conditions will be near a window that receives filtered light (no direct sun rays). Fertilize during the spring and summer months.

Temp: 65-85° F

Growth: Indoors, can grow to several feet tall; leaves will only get about 10-12" each

Level of Simplicity: Easy, great for beginners; Mini Monstera’s are really easy to propagate.

Toxicity: Considered toxic upon ingestion (to cats, dogs, humans)
