Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma Variegated - Exact Plant #37B

This tropical climber, native to Southeast Asia, rocks split, heart-shaped leaves that look like a pint-sized version of its Monstera cousin. Perfect for adding a jungle touch to your space, it’s a fast grower that thrives indoors, trailing or climbing with a little support. Whether you let it cascade from a hanging pot or train it up a moss pole, this plant brings major green energy with minimal effort.

Care Tips

• Light:

  • Place in bright, indirect light for best growth; east or west-facing windows are ideal.
  • Tolerates low light but may slow down and lose vibrancy. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.

• Watering:

  • Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, roughly every 1-2 weeks.
  • Ensure good drainage to avoid soggy roots; never let it sit in water.

• Soil Type:

  • Use a well-draining, airy mix like peat-based potting soil with perlite or orchid bark.
  • Aim for slightly acidic to neutral pH to keep roots happy.

• Fertilizer:

  • Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20).
  • Skip fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows.

• Humidity and Temperature:

  • Loves humidity (50-60%+); mist regularly or use a pebble tray for extra moisture.
  • Keep between 65-80°F (18-27°C); protect from drafts or sudden temperature drops.

• Support:

  • Provide a moss pole or trellis for climbing to encourage larger leaves.
  • Trim occasionally to control size or propagate cuttings in water or soil.
