Rhaphidophora korthalsii is a fascinating climbing plant known for its shingling growth habit, where its leaves lie flat against a surface as it climbs. When young, the leaves are small and closely pressed against whatever it’s growing on, but as it matures, they become larger, more elongated, and develop a more traditional vining look. Native to tropical rainforests, this plant thrives in warm, humid environments and prefers bright, indirect light. Given the right support, like a moss pole or a wooden board, it will happily climb and show off its unique growth pattern.
Caring for Rhaphidophora korthalsii is relatively easy. It enjoys well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil dries out. It loves humidity, so misting or using a humidifier can help it thrive indoors. Fertilizing during the growing season will encourage strong, healthy growth. While it’s a rewarding plant to grow, keep in mind that it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so it’s best to keep it out of reach. With its distinctive shingling leaves and climbing nature, this plant is a great choice for anyone looking to add a bit of jungle flair to their space.
