Monstera minima 'Variegata' (Rhaphidophora tetrasperma 'Variegata')

Monstera minima, scientifically known as Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, is an attractive tropical plant. This plant originates from Southeast Asia and is valued for its perforated leaves, which are smaller and more delicate than those of other species in the Monstera genus.

Care:

1. Light: Monstera minima prefers indirect light but can also tolerate medium light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Water regularly, but ensure the soil dries out partially between waterings.

3. Humidity: Being a tropical plant, it loves moisture. A humidity of 60% or higher is ideal. You can use a humidifier or place the plant on a tray with pebbles and water to increase humidity around it.

4. Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18-30 degrees Celsius. Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

5. Fertilizing: Fertilize the plant during the growing season (spring-summer) once a month with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Avoid fertilizing in the cold season.

Height with pot included approx. 25-30 cm

Note: Because it is a sensitive variety, there is a chance it may arrive with partially affected leaves.
Some leaves may show defects, but these do not affect the plant’s viability. Under optimal care conditions, new leaves will develop normally.
