Rhaphidophora tetrasperma (aka "Mini Monstera") – 10" Pot

(HB - Hanging Basket option available)

Overview:
Often mistaken for a Monstera, Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a fast-growing aroid native to Southeast Asia with split, fenestrated leaves that resemble the larger Monstera deliciosa—just in a more compact, vining form. This 10" hanging basket version is perfect for allowing the vines to spill over or trail along shelving. Sometimes referred to as "Ginny Philodendron," this is not technically a Philodendron, but it delivers the same tropical vibe with easy-care charm.

Light/Water Requirements:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy.

Size Information:

• Comes in a 10" hanging basket

• Vining/trailing growth habit; can be trained to climb a trellis or totem

• Leaves reach up to 6" long with signature splits

Ideal For:

• Tropical plant lovers

• Hanging displays or vertical plant walls

• Spaces needing bold texture without taking up floor space

Care Tips:

• Use a well-draining aroid mix (chunky soil with perlite and bark is great)

• Prune regularly to encourage bushier growth

• Can be trained up a moss pole or left to cascade naturally

• Fertilize monthly during growing season (spring through early fall)

Pet-Friendliness Rating:
2/5 – Mildly toxic to pets if ingested (may cause irritation)

Plant Benefits:

• Lush, jungle-inspired foliage in a manageable size

• Excellent for air purification and indoor humidity balancing

• Fast-growing and easy to propagate via stem cuttings

• Visually similar to Monstera, but easier to manage in smaller spaces
