This rare Rhaphidophora is characterized by the striking change in its leaves as it matures. While the nubby blue-green leaves of the still young plant appear round-oval and compact, they are significantly larger in the adult plant and have deep incisions. In order to show this spectacular transformation, however, it needs an appropriate substrate, such as untreated softwood panels or peat moss sticks, on which it can grow and thrive by climbing.

Ben's care tips:
We recommend keeping the cutting in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
• Location/light requirements: bright with no direct sunlight
• Substrate: Ben's Premium Sphagnum Moss, Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil
• Temperature: optimal at 26°C (day), 16-18°C (night), do not allow to cool below 12°C
• Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water about once a week when the upper substrate layer begins to dry, with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: needs high humidity, use a humidifier or place in the terrarium
• Nutrient addition: In spring/summer only moderately every 4-6 weeks with liquid fertiliser.
• The plant needs a suitable substrate for tendrils, such as untreated softwood or a stick of peat moss.
