Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a fast-growing, climbing tropical plant loved for its split leaves that resemble a smaller version of Monstera deliciosa. Native to Southern Thailand and Malaysia, it brings a lush, jungle vibe to indoor spaces—without needing as much space!

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect sunlight

• Can tolerate medium light, but slower growth and smaller splits

• Avoid harsh direct sun—can scorch leaves

💧 Watering

• Water when top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry

• Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy

• Cut back in winter to avoid overwatering

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal range: 18–27°C (65–80°F)

• Prefers moderate to high humidity

• Mist occasionally or use a humidifier for best results

🌱 Soil & Pot

• Use a well-draining aroid mix (peat, perlite, orchid bark)

• Repot every 1–2 years as it grows quickly

• Benefits from moss pole or trellis for climbing

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer

• No need to fertilize during dormancy (late fall/winter)

✂️ Pruning & Propagation

• Prune to control size or encourage bushier growth

• Propagates easily via node cuttings

• Root in water or moist soil/moss

🐾 Pet Safety

• Toxic to pets if ingested – can cause irritation
