Because of its similarity to Monstera Deliciosa, it is also called Mini Monstera and is ideal as a houseplant for Monstera fans with little space, as it is less sprawling compared to Monsteras and Philodendrons and its leaves always stay the same size. If you give her climbing aids, she can climb up quickly, with a hanging posture, newly appearing leaves become increasingly smaller.
• Delivery: You will receive an offshoot with roots and 4-6 leaves.
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: tropical forests of southern Thailand and Malaysia
• Other names: Monstera Minima, Mini Monstera
Ben's care tips:
• We recommend keeping the cutting in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
• Location/light requirements: bright with no direct sunlight
• Substrate: Ben's Premium Sphagnum Moss, 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 about once a week when the upper substrate layer begins to dry, with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: needs high humidity, use a humidifier or place in the terrarium
• Nutrient addition: In spring/summer only moderately every 4-6 weeks with liquid fertiliser.
• The plant needs a suitable substrate for tendrils, such as untreated softwood or a stick of peat moss.
