The Monstera minima, also known as the Mini Monstera or Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, is a popular houseplant known for its heart-shaped leaves with natural splits, resembling the larger Monstera deliciosa.
Key features:
* Smaller size: Compared to the Monstera deliciosa, the Mini Monstera is a more compact plant, making it suitable for smaller spaces.
* Climbing vine: It’s a vining plant that can be trained to climb a moss pole or trellis.
* Natural splits: The leaves develop characteristic splits or fenestrations as they mature, adding to their unique appearance.
* Easy to care for: It’s a relatively low-maintenance plant, making it a good choice for beginners.
Care tips:
* Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions.
* Water: Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
* Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidifier, or placing it on a pebble tray.
* Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-30°C).
