The Rhaphidophora decursiva is a tropical climbing plant and given time and space can turn a room into your own private jungle. As a baby the leaves are whole, with growth they will split and develop gaps, a process called fenestration, so that a mature leaf will appear somewhat fan like. This exotic plant offers great reward for less effort than you might expect. It enjoys indirect light but can do well in dappled light circumstances as well. When the top inch or so of soil is dry the Decursiva is ready to be watered. Remember that this plant does not like wet soil and excess water should be allowed to drain; yellow leaves may mean waterlogged soil. This plant will greatly appreciate a moss or burlap pole to climb and help maintain the more humid environment it enjoys.
