About this ranking
Rhaphidophora is most familiar through R. tetrasperma, widely (and inaccurately) sold as 'Mini Monstera' for its superficially similar fenestrated leaves; the two genera aren't closely related. Leaf form varies widely across the genus, from tetrasperma's small four-lobed leaf to the shingling, flat-pressed foliage of R. hayi and R. latevaginata.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Rhaphidophora tetrasperma really a Monstera?
No. 'Mini Monstera' is a trade name only; R. tetrasperma is in a different genus from true Monstera, and the resemblance in leaf fenestration is superficial rather than a sign of close relation.
Why are variegated tetrasperma forms pricier than the plain species?
Albo, Aurea and Mint forms have less chlorophyll-bearing leaf tissue and grow slower than the fast-growing plain green species, needing brighter light and more careful propagation to hold variegation without weakening.
