Often called the 'Mini Monstera' the Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma is in the same species as Monstera (Araceae) however Rhaphidophora is totally different genus to Monstera, Its cute glossy green, split leaves make it easy to see why it was given its nickname. R. Tetrasperma is an avid climber, in its natural environment it is found climbing trees and gripping onto their bark with aerial roots, obtaining moisture from the run-off from the trees, this makes them very easy to care for in the home as they love dappled light to bright shade and not too much water.

We are now adding in 'Transport risk' in the product description as some plants are more delicate than others and/or find transport stressful. We will rate in terms of Low, Medium or High risk and discuss specifically to the plant in question. If this information is not provided yet please feel free to reach out via email to ask. Please also note that if plants are sent with new leaves that haven't had the chance to harden off they are susceptible to physical damage in transit as the slightest touch can cause it.

Please note that we use 'Bugs for Bugs' regularly as a preventative control measure for pests. These predatory bugs are administered in vermiculite. This vermiculite is sprinkles onto the leaves and sometimes remains.

We know that sometimes it's hard to get an idea of the size of the plant your are purchasing. Photos can make plants look bigger than they actually are. That's why we've made it easy. In each listing you will notice a photo with a background with lines drawn. These lines are distanced 5cm away from each other and the photographs are taken straight on with products against the wall. These photos will be the best indicator of size.
