Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a small growing Monstera look alike. It is from Asia and is commonly misidentified. As the plant grows it produces small heart-shaped leaves with large slits. It is a climber and is fairly easy to grow provided warm conditions. I have never seen a leaf over a 6 inches long and usually 4 inches wide. It will make a great house plant, terrarium or greenhouse plant.
