I love the foliage on this plant because it looks like it’s been cut out by hand, just like those cut-out snowflakes that we used to make as kids. Rhaphidophora tetrasperma care is a snap if you follow these growing tips.

Mini Monsteras grow fast, especially in the warmer months. As it grows, it’ll need support and training as those stems get thick. They prefer and do best in bright, natural light—what I would call a moderate exposure. Near but not in a window is good.

A Rhaphidophora tetrasperma will tolerate a bit of low light but you’ll see little if any growth. The plant will become very leggy and the foliage will get smaller in size. If in too much hot sun, the plant will burn.

Watering is key to care. I water mine when the top 1/3 of the soil mix is dry.That tends to be every 7 days in the warmer months and every 10 – 14 days in winter. When I repot it into a larger pot, I won’t need to water quite as frequently.

This plant is native to the tropics. Despite this, it’ll do just fine in our homes which tend to have dry air. I take mine to the kitchen sink every couple of weeks and give it a good spray to temporarily up the ante on the humidity factor.

You’ll need to train your Rhaphidophora in some way as it grows. Moss poles are a common method of support but you can also use a smaller-sized trellis, piece of bark, or bamboo hoops.
