Beautiful species from Malaysia in a 6 cm pot. Light green leaves, fast-growing, very robust. This Araceae should be cultivated in a moist, warm environment.

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.
The product photos show examples of the plant. You will receive a specimen that corresponds to the product photos in terms of size, shape and color.
- Delivery: in a 6 cm pot.
- Growth type: climbing
- Origin: tropical forests of southern Thailand and Malaysia
- Other names: Monstera Minima, Mini Monstera

Ben's tips on plant care:

- 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.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place it in the terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: In spring/summer, give only a moderate amount of liquid fertilizer approx. every 4-6 weeks.
- The plant is happy to have climbing supports to climb up.
