Description

Rhaphidophora decursiva looks like a Monstera, but with finer, longer leaves cut into regular strips. It's a vigorous climbing vine: on a moss pole it gains height quickly, and its leaves grow larger as it climbs. A collector's plant, still uncommon in Morocco.

Where to place it

In a bright living room or office, near a window with a sheer curtain. Allow for height: it climbs its support quickly.

Caring for your Rhaphidophora decursiva

Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry.
Attach the stems to a moss or coir pole: its aerial roots cling to it and the leaves grow larger.
Mist the pole and foliage with a fine-mist spray bottle in dry spells.
Feed it every two to three weeks in spring and summer with root feed for foliage plants.

The right potting mix

A very airy mix: our Alocasia and tropical plant mix, with bark chips for large pots.

Mistakes to avoid

Leaving it without support: it slumps and produces small leaves.
Air that's too dry.
Overwatering in winter.

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from a Monstera?
Its leaves are narrower, more regularly cut and don't develop holes. It climbs faster and stays narrower.

Every plant is chosen and checked at the studio before it leaves. Delivery anywhere in Morocco, or collection from our studio in Rabat. A plant that arrives damaged will be exchanged: let us know within 48 hours with a photo.
