Monstera Minima or Rhaphidophora tetrasperma

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma or Monstera Minima is hard to find in the wild but now cultivated . its often mistaken for a monstera plant because the leaf shape has the same cuts but it grows very dIfferently . rather than vining upwards it grows sideways and can be easily trailed around a room or along shelves. It will still grow upwards if thats what you prefer but a plant that naturally grows along shelves is to be welcome! 

It's a very easy care plants . suitable for anyone growing in a wide variety of light conditions and very forgiving but it will do best in brighter light . growing faster and larger leaves. It can take a little time to settle . sometimes yellowing but this is often a short period of time before its grows back very strongly again. A real gem and well worth adding to your collection.
