Mini Monstera - Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma

Mini Monstera 🌿 is loved for its glossy split leaves that give you that tropical fenestrated look in a smaller, faster-growing plant. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it can climb beautifully on a pole or trail from a shelf while staying full and healthy. This is a generally easy plant that grows quickly with a steady routine, but it does not want to stay soggy or sit in a dark corner. Pro tip: give it support early ✨, because the leaves usually size up and look their best when the plant has something to climb.
