Rhaphidophora korthalsii

Rhaphidophora korthalsiiSpecies from Tropical Asia Fabulous shingling aroid that is very easy to grow both in or out of a terrarium. For best growth, provide it with vertical support. Available plants are rooted and similar in size to that pictured.

Slow-growing with a small mature size

it is much more subtle here

Leaves are nicely long and thin

Beautiful Philodendron species endemic to Tarapoto Peru

These are all rooted and actively growing plants propagated from cuttings off my mother plant

Small intermediate to warm species from Madagascar and the Comoros

and a plant in full bloom is a sight to behold

The leaves are velvety dark green with red undersides

and are predominantly white

Some say it is an aberrant form of Philo
