Description

Don’t let the name fool you, this fast growing climber brings all the tropical drama without taking up too much space. With its signature split leaves and vining growth, Monstera Minima (also known as Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma) is like a mini version of its famous Monstera cousin. Native to Southeast Asia, it’s the perfect statement plant for shelves, hanging pots, or training up a moss pole. Low effort, high impact, what’s not to love?

Potted in Sexy Soil – Houseplant Mix.

Specification

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light but will grow slower and produce smaller leaves. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent scorching.

Watering

Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feel dry. In the UK’s cooler months, reduce watering to avoid root rot.

Temperature

Keep between 18-26°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid placing near radiators, which can dry it out.

Humidity

Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+). It will adapt to normal household conditions but would benefit if you have a humidifier or pebble tray.

Fertiliser

Feed every time you water in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support growth. No need to fertilise in winter.

Toxicity

Toxic to pets if ingested, so best kept out of reach.
