Rhaphidophora Pertusa Variegata 12cm

🌿 Rhaphidophora Pertusa Variegata Care Guide

The Pertusa Variegata is a rare climbing beauty with uniquely cut, fenestrated leaves splashed in creamy white variegation. A cousin of the Monstera, it brings jungle vibes with an extra dash of elegance, making it a must-have for collectors.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation

• Too little light may cause leaves to lose their creamy patches

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch variegated areas

💧 Water

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry

• Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy

• Use a chunky, well-draining mix for strong, healthy roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves medium to high humidity

• Adapts to normal home air, but thrives with a humidifier or misting

• Dry air can cause browning on white patches

🍽️ Feeding

• Balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Reduce or skip feedings in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Provide a moss pole or support—it loves to climb

• Rotate occasionally so it grows evenly

• Not pet-safe—keep away from cats and dogs
