Not a Monstera but dubbed the Mini Monstera for its small space-filled leaves. This distant cousin doesn't reach the enormous sizes of its namesake. Rather, these proceed upwards in an orderly fashion and make for a great corner-filler in a bright room due to its small size.

Ideal for Beginner plant keepers or beyond.

Light Requirements: Bright Indirect Light is ideal, tolerant of medium light.

Moisture & Soil Requirements: Prefers evenly moist soil with good drainage in warm seasons - never soggy soil. Can handle short dry spells, reduce the watering frequency in winter.

Growth & Nutrients: Upright vine-type growth with aerial roots that seek out support. Grows up trees in wild, simulate this with a fern pole or similar. Suits apartments or homes of any size. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser for containers from the start of spring each year to autumn when growth slows down.

Temperature, Humidity & Ambient requirements: Prefers warm, humid environments inside but adaptable to many conditions.

Toxicity: Toxic to pets and people. Don't chomp down on this ever.
