4" Rhapidophora Tetrasperma (Mini Monstera)
Rhapidophora Tetrasperma, commonly known as Mini Monstera or Mini Split-leaf Philodendron, is a trendy and attractive houseplant known for its fenestrated leaves resembling those of Monstera deliciosa. Here are simple care instructions for Rhapidophora Tetrasperma:
1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not grow as vigorously.
2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.
3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity around the plant.
4. Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, which can stress the plant.
5. Soil**: Use a well-draining potting mix with organic matter. A mix formulated for aroids or a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost works well.
6. Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.
7. Support: Provide a moss pole or trellis for the plant to climb. This encourages upward growth and helps the plant develop its characteristic split leaves.
8. Pruning: Trim back any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain plant health and appearance. Pruning also encourages bushier growth.
9. Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Cut a stem below a node and place it in water or directly in soil. Roots will develop within a few weeks.
10. Pests: Monitor for common houseplant pests like spider mites or aphids. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Rhapidophora Tetrasperma is relatively low-maintenance and forgiving, making it a great choice for indoor plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of tropical elegance to their space.
