This little beauty is often mistaken for a member of the Monstera family because its leaves have a similar shape, but it is in fact quite a rare species, not often found in the wild. The good news is, this rarity is not proportionate to sensitivity - the Minima is a tough cookie and a fast-grower so get ready to re-pot regularly!
Unlike the Monstera Deliciosa, the Minima’s leaves show cuts from early stages, the vines grow sideways and can reach up to 12 inches in a growing season.
The leafy, fast-growing Minima has been the star of plant enthusiast posts on Instagram - just check out #rhaphidophoratetrosperma. If you want to make your plant-loving friends jealous, get snapping and make sure you tag us @bloomboxclub!

Kokedama: A Japanese tradition, they are bowls made with moss on which the plant grows.
Kokodama: Our Kokodamas are based on the Japanese tradition but made with coconut fibre, hence the slight variation on their name!

Plant Care Tips: Monstera Minima
- The Monstera Minima likes bright spaces but be careful with direct sunlight and cold draughts. Avoid temperatures below 12 ºC and above 30ºC.
- Let the top few inches of soil dry out in between waterings and avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot.
- Make sure you give this plant plenty of humidity, mist the leaves often. You can also place the plant on a tray with wet pebbles.
- Use a clean cloth to remove accumulated dust.
- During the growing season, feed it with a general plant fertiliser once a month and once every e months in the colder seasons.
- Remove any yellow or drying leaves to encourage better growth and don’t cut the aerial roots or the plant will weaken.
- Repotting is recommended every 2 or 3 years, use a fresh well-draining organic soil mix.

It’s also easy to propagate in water and steam and leaves cuttings.
It’s a relatively low maintenance plant, but it can show signs of stress if not looked after correctly.
How tall does it grow? Up to 4m in height and 0.8m in width.
Fact: I am often mistaken for a member of the Monstera family, hence my common name Monstera Minima or sometimes Piccolo. Some also mistake me for a Philodendron.
