Monstera Ginny Hanging Basket – Live Plant in a 6 Inch Hanging Pot – Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma – Stunning Houseplant with Unique Foliage – Air Purifying

Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma, also known as Mini Monstera or Philodendron Ginny, is a tropical plant that grows in the form of a vine and has aerial roots. It is simple to maintain and will quickly grow. It is called Mini Monstera because it resembles Monstera Deliciosa or Split Leaf Philodendron, but the leaves won’t exceed 12 inches in size. This plant has many similar characteristics and needs similar care to the plants it resembles. Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma grows well in a standard potting soil, but it’s recommended to mix in peat moss for added nutrients and perlite for better soil aeration. This helps provide the plant with necessary nutrients while preventing water-logged soil. An orchid potting mix is also a suitable option. It’s important to ensure proper drainage in the pot to avoid over-watering. The Mini Monstera is pretty flexible with placement in your home. If you want to go the direct sun route, make sure it is morning sun as afternoon sun is too hot and bright and can burn your leaves, Otherwise, place it farther back from your brighter windows. Mine gets what I would consider to be medium indirect light and seems perfectly happy with it. If it is getting too little light than the leaves with be smaller, grow slower, and may not develop splits. A big plus in favor of owning one of these is that they can easily do well growing in the average household humidity level. If you want to really make yours a happy plant you can certainly use a humidifier, especially during the drier winter months. If you dont have a humidifier and would like to increase the humidity level, putting your plant on a pebble tray works. As with almost every other houseplant, these will not survive if the temperature gets below 50F (10C). They do well outside during the warmer months but that isnt something that you absolutely need to do if you prefer to keep your indoor plants strictly indoors. Just remember to bring them in when the nighttime temperatures dip below the 50F (10C) mark.
