They are all the rage right now due to their cute split leaves, ease of care, and fast growth rate. R. tetrasperma bares a striking resemblance to a Monstera deliciosa at first glance, and it's often incorrectly referred to as a Philodendron species. However, this plant is neither a Monstera or a Philodendron, although they are all in the same family Araceae (plants in this family are often referred to as "aroids").

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma in a a totally separate genus than those two plants, and is endemic to a separate part of the world! While Monstera and Philodendron species are native to Central and South America, R. tetrasperma is found in Southern Thailand and Malaysia. And surprisingly, the Rhapidophora genus isn't closely related to the other two genera it's often mistaken for.
