How to prune rhaphidophora tetrasperma (mini monstera)

Spring or early summer, when growth is most vigorous. Cut stems just above a node using clean, sharp scissors or shears. Removing the growing tip causes the stem to branch. Cuttings root easily in water or moist soil.

Annually, or as needed to manage size and shape. Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a fast-growing climber that benefits from occasional pruning to control size and encourage branching. Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base as they appear. Cut stems back to a node to limit length or promote bushier growth. Provide a moss pole — pruning alone won't replace proper support.
