These cute [papercraft plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) by People Too from Russia, don’t require [watering, sunlight or fertilizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tendril-1), and unlike the plant’s Latin name 'Monstera’ the intricately folded and cut greenery looks like they are actually only about 6” small. The 'little monsters' come planted in realistic soil in their own [terra cotta pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-pak-and-keter).

Individually packaged in their own tiny white box with air holes in the sides, the 'Monstera' plants would be a fabulous party decoration or wedding favor.
