- In this video, I share my thoughts on the differences between the tissue culture vs non-tissue culture Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma. Disclaimer: This is what I've observed from my plants and also from my own research. I am not an expert. I'm merely an enthusiast so if you have any other information I have not touched on, please do share your knowledge in the comments below!

Hello, my fellows! My name is Grace and I love houseplants. I enjoy sharing care tips and my experiences throughout my plant journey in case they are helpful to others.

What do you guys think? Please do let us know in the comments below if you have noticed any other differences between the two!
WOW my mind is blown that I’ve never seen a non TC tetrasperma before
OMG thank you for your video bc I've been looking at ID of my Rhaphidophora and it turns out I have non tc and i bought it in supermarket for 7,45 euros 😄😇
That was helpful. It appears I have a tissue culture plant. When you held them up side by side the differences were easy to see.
Thanks Grace!
Glad to hear it was helpful! 😊
This was really interesting. I didn’t know there was this issue and difference! I really enjoyed your video (though can I say, the “camera shutter” noise was quite jarring. I don’t think you need it 😁)
I’ve had my Rhaphidophora for over a year and it’s a vigorous grower! It still has small oval light green leaves. And forgive me for saying this but it’s not quite the attractive plant i thought it was going to be. It’s a TC. You are right about the differences in the two. Thank you.
I sadly have the tc version and its reached my ceiling and still has the same juvenile type leaves, I really want to find a non TC now the leaves look so much more attractive, the TC ones always look a bit sick or pale in comparison to the dark green of the non-TC.
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to hear from someone who has an established TC version as well!
So glad you made this.. they’re both lovely! And I still have no idea which one I have creeping across my ceiling :)
Thanks for watching! They are both lovely indeed, honestly can't go wrong with either!
Nice video, thanks sharing! I love the version non Tc more 😉
This was very helpful information, thank you.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful :)
I’m some months late on this video but, I recently notice a difference between the two I have and yes if it is a plant I love I will end up getting more then one. I see the difference also a difference in growth also one grows faster then the other
They both look so beautiful my friend. TFS. Stay connected 😊
Great video content!
Thank you lovely!

Beautiful plants dear ❤️
Nicely described
Thank you Kanha! Appreciate your comment 😊
Great video! I’m like you, I always wanted the big leaf one and I have the TC one. I just ordered a non TC one🤞🏼
Thank you for the video Grace. I think you explained the differences well 👍
After seeing these beauties, I really want one of them, preferably the Non-TC but either will do 😄
It'll be the mini-me of my Monstera Deliciosa hahaha
Have nice weekend
Aw thanks for your kind comment. Hope you have a nice weekend too!
@My Fellow Foliage Thank you very much 🤗
I got the next week off from work ^^ but not much I can do for my plants
It's winter time here and not a lot of daylight
I got six kinds of chilli seedlings growing very well as well as a coffee plant seedling and a small mango (10 cm) I got from my sister.
I want to replant them in bigger pots, but I should probably wait at least a month or two
Personally, I don't mind the winter months here, but most of my plants aren't to happy
Oh well, nothing I can do about that ^^
Good video
Thanks for the video. I don't own this plant, but if I do, I know which one I'll pick/choose. 😏
Thanks for watching! 😊
I didn't know there was such a thing as non TC. I didn't know the one I have is a TC, which by the way is 2 years old and is all the way up to the ceiling. I need to cut it and prop into three plants soon, because the top of the plant is not holding on to anything and the leaves are growing so small. Thanks for sharing
One of my adult cats just LOVES to eat my plants….but she seems to know to mostly not bother the toxic ones. I say mostly because I left a vining philodendron in the sink a few weeks ago, and noticed later that some of the leaves had been chewed off. And she is still alive (the cat, not the plant)
A friend gave me a tetrasperma cutting last year…it didn’t make it….but I found a cute little one this spring, in a 4” hanging pot. It’s been growing very fast, under a grow light above my kitchen sink. Growing in one long piece, no branching, about 3 feet long now. Mine looks like a lighter green. Not sure what version I have…I guess it doesn’t matter. Next week I’m going to pot it up, I want to provide a support, but the way it’s growing, I’m thinking whatever support I put it on, it will outgrow it pretty fast.
I have a mature tissue culture Raffy. I bought it for $50 from someone about 6 months ago. The top is all new growth which is why it still has that lighter green. But there is a fenestration in bottom mature leaf. It is about 7 ft tall.
Because I had to wait a year to get one, I dont care if it's TC or not! But great informative video.
Thanks for watching! It doesn't matter at the end of the day as they're both great plants!
I love that tc’s are cheaper that’s about all I can add lol.
They sure are and easier to find too!
Could it just be differences because it's clones of different individual plants just like not all humans look alike it would be normal that there would be some variation. Not send you wrong just wondering. 🤔
I have a TC
This is just the difference between mature and immature. The reason is because tissue culture sets a plants age to 0.
So this is just a baby.
The non tissue culture could be a cutting off of a mother plant with an effective maturity of 50+ feet or more. Plants like pothos, philodendron, raphidophora et cetera, can change drastically in leaf size and shape the taller they grow. And, fortunately enough for us, they can maintain the acquired leaf size/shape even after most propagation methods. Meaning you can have a specimen that is only 12" tall, bit has the characteristics of a 50 foot tall matured vine. This makes the plant's "effective maturity" 50'
However vertical growth in and of itself is not the only factor that facilitates this transformation, so you may have some specimens of tissue,, or seed grown plants that do not reach the characteristic.milestones of a 20' vine, even if the vine has reached 20' in someone's house.
Bottom line: if you want a plant with mature characteristics, purchase a cutting with those mature characteristics.
How do you know it’s due to tissue culturing and not the specific mother plants they tissue cultured?
Also I’m dumb and every time you said non tissue cultured variety I had to take a second and translate that to “regular”. Haha! Don’t know why that was so hard!
Hahah I often confused myself too and had to keep track of what I was saying. Probably should've said regular actually 😂 I've seen lots of TC versions in our big box stores and specialty plant stores here in Aus and they all look alike but those with the "chubby leaves" trait are always labelled non-TC from what I've seen 🧐
The comment from Taylor below is correct. This is the difference in the age of the plants. The none tissue culture plant was taken from a mature plant. The changes in the shape, leaf structure and fenstrations come with maturity. The holes in the none tissue culture plant are also evidence of a mature plant.
NTC or nothing! 😛
😊😊😊
Girl all you showed was a mature vs a non mature RT
Both plants look the same when they mature, and they mature really quickly. They’re the same plant and people just sell “Non Tc” versions because they want to charge more money
Cool thanks for sharing. Would love to see some pictures or links if you're happy to share
