RHAPHIDOPHORA PLANT CARE

Tetrasperma Mini Monstera are very easy to grow tropical plants that require little care indoors or out. Like other aroids, many species of Rhaphidophora can be grown as houseplants, or outdoors in mild climates. They thrive in moist soils with high organic matter and grow best when provided with a mossy post or burlap wrapped pole to climb. Rhaphidophora plants can be grown in pots, hanging baskets or outdoors as a ground cover or beautiful tree wrap. Indoors plants thrive at temperatures between 55°- 80°F and in lower light conditions than other house plants. In the ground or up an arbor, Rhaphidophoras get big and are often unrecognizable from their potted juvenile state. They add a wonderfully tropical accent to any well-lit space or cascading from your favorite hanging planter. In very cold zones a containerized Rhaphidophora can be brought inside for the winter months. Be sure to avoid frost and freezing temperatures.

When you receive your new Rhaphidophora, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location. You can then add some mulch to keep your plant standing upright. The mulch will also supply nutrients while in storage. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Rhaphidophora.

CONTAINER SIZE

Rhaphidophora grow very well in patio and indoor containers. Allow enough room for growth generally a 10″ to a 20″ diameter, 10″ deep container will suffice to get started. Remember the looser the roots, the taller and healthier your plant will be. When the plant becomes root bound its growth will slow, at that point it is time for a larger pot.

SOIL

Tetrasperma Mini Monstera Rhaphidophoras enjoy well drained but moist, rich organic mix. Remember try to stay away from wet, mucky or dry, sandy soils.

FERTILIZER

To help establish your new Tetrasperma Mini Monstera Rhaphidophora, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time released product. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the plant.

GROW ZONE & LIGHT

Best outdoors if grown in zone 9b-11, find your zone here. This Rhaphidophora requires 70-85% sunlight. Depending on your location filtered sun is best. In the northern end of their grow zone Tetrasperma Mini Monstera plants should be brought indoors or protected during the winter months. The patio zone is 4b-11 which means the potted plant will flourish over the summer months in colder zones but must be brought inside before frost.

BEFORE YOU PLANT OUTDOORS

At the nursery these Rhaphidophora plants are grown under 20-40% shade cloth. If you plant this Rhaphidophora in a brightly lit area you may experience leaf burn. It is best to acclimate this plant to its environment by keeping it outside and slowly moving it into a sunny area over a week or two to avoid stress before planting.

WHAT IS THE SHIPPING SIZE

All Tetrasperma Mini Monstera Rhaphidophora Plants for sale will vary in size. In the spring, plants are often smaller than plants shipped in the fall. Plants designated with a sku ending in -4, -6 or -8 will arrive in a standard 4 inch, 6 inch or 8 inch round growers pot respectively. Our new, reusable, recyclable deep pots are 8 inches deep and 3×3 inches in width. Products growing in these pots are easy to transplant and allow for deeper roots and faster growth, they are designated with a sku ending in -t3, most of these often come with a wood totem. (Note: The item sku number can be found just below the buy button.) The color and style of these pots may vary. If we are out of a particular size item, we may ship a larger size at no additional charge. For more information, click the “best packaging” link at the bottom of this page.

Note:

Before leaving, Tetrasperma Mini Monstera Rhaphidophora plants are inspected, watered, and pruned. Larger plants, generally those that ship in 8″ pots or with totems, will be topped to 36″ or 48″ overall, depending on the variety, if necessary to facilitate shipping. Your new plants’ pot is then bagged to ensure that the soil stays in the pot and not loose in the box. Plants are tissue or kraft paper wrapped and secured in place with natural biodegradable peanuts.

SHIPPING & HANDLING RATES AND INFO.

Orders placed from the western regions in the US can have an extended delivery time up to 9 days, we strongly recommend selecting 2 day UPS or placing your order in early spring or late fall to avoid hot summer temps. In these regions you are accepting full responsibility for the shipment and understand the risks involved due to distance and temperatures. Western shipments are not guaranteed in the months of May-September.

**Please understand we are unable to constantly monitor the temperatures across the entire United States. If you know the temperatures in your area are not conducive to shipping plants enclosed in a box from Florida to your location, please wait until temperatures are more favorable. We do not guarantee plants due to extreme temperatures during shipping. All shipping rates include all shipping and handling fees.

**To better serve you, during certain times of the year, when heat and travel time may become an issue, we offer UPS 2 Day which may be considerably more expensive however safer for your shipment. Due to extended travel time and weather conditions we remove the UPS Ground options to some locations to prevent loss and heat damage.

**About delivery time: During checkout you will notice the shipping time states "once shipped" in days but our "delivery time" is stated in weeks. That is because, our nursery typically receives over 1-2 hundred orders a week with orders consisting of 1 to 20+ plants each, which adds up to around 1,000 plants per week to prepare and ship, when we are only able to properly ship around 125 or so orders per week. We are a nursery of two people doing all the maintenance, propagation, shipping and customer service, working eight days per week. We do not take any short cuts while packaging and each plant is handled and treated with the utmost care. When the orders in our shipping queue reach 300, we turn off the site checkout process until the shipping queue is down to a manageable 200 or less orders.
Example:
1. You order on the first of the month with 2 day shipping.
2. Shipping queue orders are at 2-4 weeks.
3. At week 2-4 your order is ready to ship.
4. You selected two day shipping, so your order will be to you in 2 days after UPS picks it up.

Current shipping queue is 2-3 weeks. (more info.)

All shipments are insured by UPS for transit loss.
