Because of its similarity to Monstera Deliciosa, it is also known as Mini-Monstera and is ideal as a houseplant for Monstera fans with little space, as it is less sprawling in comparison to Monsteras and Philodendrons and its leaves always remain the same size. If it is given climbing supports, it can quickly climb up them; if it is kept hanging, newly appearing leaves will become increasingly smaller.

- Location/light requirements: bright without direct sunlight
- Substrate: Ben's Babyplant Soil, Special Soil, later Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil
- Temperature: optimal at 26° C (day), 16-18° C (night), do not allow to cool below 12°C
- Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water approx. once a week when the top layer of substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm, low-lime water, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
