Monstera Minima
Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma


The star of plant enthusiast posts on Instagram!
The Minima is often mistaken for a member of the Monstera family because its leaves have a similar shape, but it is in fact quite a rare species, not often found in the wild. The good news is, this rarity is not proportionate to sensitivity.
Unlike the Monstera Deliciosa, the Minima’s leaves show cuts from early stages, the vines grow sideways and can reach up to 12 inches in a growing season, it is a tough cookie and a fast grower so get ready to re-pot regularly!

It’s also easy to propagate in water and steam and leaves cuttings.
It’s a relatively low maintenance plant, but it can show signs of stress if not looked after correctly.
How tall does it grow? Up to 4m in height and 0.8m in width.

Monstera Minima Care Guide
Light
I like bright light and can deal with direct sunlight so keep me near a window.
Water
I prefer to have my soil moist in growing season and cut back in winter but I'm hardy and will forgive less frequent watering. I'd prefer that to overwatering please!
Temperature
I'm happy with normal room temperatures. I like humidity so if you can, op me near other plants or in a humid environment, but don't worry if you can't - I'm hardy and can take it.
Feeding
I love a high-nitrogen fertiliser dose once a month but only during growing season. Please don't feed me during winter.
Grooming
I am a fast grower, so cut me back if I start taking over your home!
Care
Because of my vigorous growth, I will need repotting at least once a year. I like well-draining soil with perlite/pumice and bark mixed in best.
Monstera Minima General Information
Origin
I come from Southern Thailand and Malaysia
Size
I am a speedy grower and love to climb so get me some supports soon if you want me upright. I have been known to grow to 5m in the wild! If you let me trail, my vines will become a little leggy and the leaves may not split as nicely as if you hel
Toxicity
I am toxic so make sure my leaves aren't ingested by curious pets and kids.
