★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.
Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

All about
The Monstera dossier
Monstera deliciosa
The Monstera deliciosa grows naturally in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it climbs tree trunks with its aerial roots in search of light. The famous holes and splits in the leaves (called fenestration) let wind and light through to the lower foliage.
Large specimens keep that climbing character: a moss pole or support keeps the plant upright and encourages bigger leaves with more holes.

Placement and light
The Monstera prefers a bright spot without direct midday sun. Harsh direct sunlight scorches the leaves, while too little light produces small leaves without holes. A spot near an east or north facing window is ideal, or two to three metres from a south facing window.
Rotate the plant a quarter turn every few weeks so it grows evenly. Keep the temperature above 15 degrees and avoid draughts and a spot directly above a radiator.
Water and feeding
Water about once a week in spring and summer, and once every ten to fourteen days in autumn and winter. Feel first: the top three to five centimetres of soil should be dry before you water again. Slightly too dry is better than too wet, as root rot from overwatering is problem number one.
Feed with green plant fertiliser every two weeks from March to September. The Monstera appreciates somewhat higher humidity; misting is fine but usually not necessary.
Is something wrong with your Monstera?
Yellow leaves usually point to overwatering or poorly draining soil. Brown edges or tips indicate dry air or underwatering. New leaves without holes almost always mean too little light. In dry air spider mites can appear, recognisable by fine webbing on the underside of the leaves.
Repot a Monstera every two to three years, preferably in spring. Choose a pot with a diameter about twenty percent larger than the current nursery pot and use airy, well draining potting soil. Large specimens are top heavy: a sturdy, slightly taller decorative pot keeps the plant stable. You will find the matching pots right on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The Monstera contains calcium oxalate, which makes it mildly toxic to cats and dogs. Chewing on the leaves causes irritation of the mouth and stomach. Serious poisoning is rare, but with nibbling pets it is better to keep the plant out of reach or choose a pet friendly alternative.
With enough light the Monstera is a fast grower that can add dozens of centimetres per year. Each new leaf grows larger and develops more splits than the last. Our XXL specimens are already years old and give your interior an instant mature jungle look, without years of waiting.
Is the Monstera minima (Rhaphidophora tetrasperma) a real Monstera?
No, the Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is called Monstera minima because its split leaves resemble those of a small Swiss cheese plant. Botanically it belongs to a different genus in the same family. Its leaves stay smaller, but it does grow fast.
How big does a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma get?
A Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a climber that can grow several metres long on a support, and it grows fast. XXLplant sells it 80 cm tall in a ø19 cm pot, measured including the nursery pot. With a moss pole or trellis you can train it further upwards.
Where should you put a Monstera minima?
Put your Monstera minima in a bright spot out of direct sun. In a spot that is too dark it gets smaller leaves with fewer splits. Keep it between 18 and 25 °C and not below 15 °C.
How often should you water a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma?
Water a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma as soon as the top layer of soil is dry, usually once a week in summer. Give less in winter. Don't leave water standing in the decorative pot.
Is a Monstera minima toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, just like the Swiss cheese plant, the Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves contain oxalate crystals that irritate the mouth and throat. Keep it out of reach of pets that chew on plants.
How is a Monstera minima delivered?
Your Monstera minima leaves us upright in its own plant box, with the plant in a paper sleeve and the pot secured. In frost or heat we add a heat pack or cold pack. It is usually with you within 4 to 5 working days.
