Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, also known as Monstera minima, Dwarf Monstera, or Philodendron Ginny, shares a plant family (Araceae) with Monstera and Philodendron, but it's distinctly unique.
Sporting glossy green leaves with intricately cut margins, it mimics the iconic Swiss Cheese Plant. Its compact size makes it a crowd favourite. As a climber, it's been skillfully trained on a moss pole for both support and added height.
Monstera minima is easy to care for but prefers things warm and humid.
Horty Hints
Getting leggy? Your plant may be striving for more light. Move to a brighter spot and trim back thin growth.
Going for a sidelong sprawl? The Dwarf Monstera loves to crawl and sprawl in all sorts of directions. Adjust the moss pole pins, or use some extras to coax it back to the pole's surface.
Monstera minima are native to tropical regions but will do fine in UK homes. They do best with the slightly higher humidity of bathrooms and kitchens.
