Monstera Minima tips for easy care and propagation | Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma care
In this video I will talk about Monstera Minma also known as Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma. This plant is beautiful but also very easy to care for. I hope you like the video, and stay tuned for more video about it.

Hey thought I could chime in here. Tissue culture also known as "in vitro" is just another way to propagate plants. It is based on the fact that you can grow a plant from just a few of its cells (or even a single one), if you can provide proper nutrition and light. This is usually done by cutting meristems (slices) from the appropriate location in the plant. These meristems can be tiny, where I work we usually only use meristems of new shoots (apical meristems) that measure about 0.2 millimeters. The meristems are then placed in a tipical kitchen screw-top jar with a modified seal. These jars contain a sort of gel that is enriched with all the nutrients the plant needs. This step must be done in a sterile environment, otherwise you WILL get fungi or bacteria growing instead of plants.
Short version:
- you can take many many cuttings from one plant called meristems
- These cuttings do take a long time to grow
- Because the conditions in the jar are so favorable, plants may get a shock when transfered to soil
- Tissue culture plants contain exactely the same genetics as the source plant, they are clones
- If your tissue culture plant looks weak, give it some time to adjust
