Monstera Minima 6"

The Monstera Minima (a.k.a. Rhaphidophora tetrasperma) — the “mini Monstera” that’s not actually a Monstera, but totally gives those chic split-leaf jungle vibes in a compact size! 

🌞 Light

• Bright, indirect light is its jam! Near a sunny window, but not in harsh direct rays (those can scorch its leaves).

• It can tolerate lower light, but the leaves might grow smaller and with fewer splits.

💧 Water

• Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.

• Stick your finger in the soil to check before watering.

• Water less in winter when growth slows down.

• Likes consistent moisture but not soggy roots—think “moist, not mushy.”

🌿 Humidity

• Loves a bit of humidity! Mist it now and then or keep a humidifier nearby.

• It’ll survive in normal home humidity but will thrive with a little extra 💦

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining mix! A good combo is potting soil + perlite + orchid bark.

• This mimics its natural environment and helps prevent root rot.

🪴 Pot

• Make sure there are drainage holes.

• Repot every 1–2 years or when you see roots peeking out the bottom.

🌡️ Temperature

• Prefers warm temps: 65–85°F (18–29°C).

• Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

🌿 Growth & Support

• It’s a climber! Give it a moss pole or trellis to grow on and it’ll reward you with bigger, more dramatic leaves.

• If it’s getting leggy, it might want more light.

✂️ Pruning & Propagation

• Snip any yellow or leggy stems.

• You can propagate from stem cuttings with a node—just pop it in water or moist soil, and roots will grow!
