Plant information: Rhaphidophora species Malaysia

Rhaphidophora sp Malaysia is mostly grown for its leaves. This species is a half epiphytic plant that produces aerial roots from its rhizome to anchor itself to trees for structural support. The leaves of this plant are pointy, oval and unlike many other species from this genus, the leave edge is not deeply cut. This plant produces inflorescences seldomly. When in bloom, the non-spectacular inflorescence is similar to other species from the aroid family. This plant could be propagated by cuttings. Make sure every piece of cut rhizome contains at least three leaves and some aerial roots. Put cutting in specialized propagation soil or place them in water to root first.

For optimal growing conditions, do not let humidity drop under 70 %. This species is mainly suitable for warmer rooms indoors or heated greenhouses. As this species matures, provide structural items to guide its climbing growth habit. The plant thrives in bright indirect light, try to avoid direct sunlight in summer and spring as it will scorch its leaves.
