Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma Variegata

Variegation Options

We offer two purchasing options so you can choose the right plant for your collection:

• Variegated Plants – These have more noticeable variegation, which may appear on the leaves, stems, or both. Their striking contrast makes them highly sought after.
• Budget-Friendly Lower Variegation Plants – These plants have at least one leaf showing small amounts of variegation, which may be in the form of spots, marble variegation, or subtle speckling.

Variegation & Care

Variegation in Rhaphidophora tetrasperma Variegata is not stable, meaning it can increase or decrease over time. With bright, indirect light and proper care, there is always a high chance of more variegation developing as the plant matures.

How to Look After Rhaphidophora tetrasperma Variegata

Care Guide for Rhaphidophora tetrasperma Variegata (Mini Monstera Variegata, Variegated Monstera Minima)

To keep your Rhaphidophora tetrasperma Variegata thriving and maintaining its stunning variegation, follow these essential care instructions:

1. Light Requirements

✅ Ideal Light: This variegated aroid houseplant thrives in bright, indirect light. The variegated parts of the leaves have less chlorophyll, so providing ample light helps encourage growth and maintain variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
📍 Placement: Near an east or west-facing window with filtered light is ideal. If natural light is limited, a grow light can help maintain strong variegation.

2. Watering

💧 Watering Schedule: Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry. Typically, this means watering once a week during the growing season (spring and summer) and reducing frequency in winter.
🪴 Watering Technique: Water thoroughly until excess drains from the pot’s bottom. Ensure the plant is not sitting in standing water to prevent root rot.

3. Humidity

🌿 Humidity Needs: Rhaphidophora tetrasperma Variegata thrives in moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.
💦 Boosting Humidity: Use a humidifier, mist the leaves occasionally, or group it with other plants to create a humid microclimate.

4. Temperature

🌡️ Optimal Temperature: This plant prefers warm, stable temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F). Avoid cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature changes.
❄️ Winter Care: Keep your plant away from windows, doors, and radiators where cold air or heat fluctuations might stress it.

5. Soil and Potting

🌱 Soil Mix: Use a well-draining aroid mix. Our high-quality aroid potting mix is available in the shop.
🌿 Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot one size larger to support continued growth.

6. Fertilising

🌿 Feeding Schedule: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser, diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows.
⚠️ Fertiliser Type: Avoid over-fertilising, as excess nutrients can lead to salt build-up and damage the plant’s roots.

7. Variegation & Growth

🌱 Variegation Stability: Variegation is not stable, meaning it can increase or decrease over time. With plenty of bright light and good care, there’s a high chance that more variegation may develop. However, some plants may also revert.
