Question about item

The deep green leaves of this rarely found Rhaphidophora undergo a striking transformation as it matures. While they are still small and heart-shaped in young plants, they develop deep incisions in mature plants, but only if they are allowed to climb up suitable supports such as untreated softwood or peat moss sticks.
• Delivery: You will receive a scion with 2-4 leaves and aerial roots
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: Rainforests of Southeast Asia and the western Pacific region
• Other names: Rhaphidophora celatocaulis, shingle plant

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 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.
