More Info
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.
As it thrives it will climb and the leaves can achieve great sizes; a larger pot may be required for
its continued progress. It loves to have some room to stretch out, should it become rootbound the
new leaves will be smaller.
Protip: Because of the large size of the leaves, it is beneficial to give them a wipe with a dry or
damp cloth to remove dust that may have accumulated.
