Plant description
Sharing the same family as both the Monstera and the Philodendron, this amazing, scrambling aroid originates from Malaysia and Southern Thailand, and like its close cousins, it also has the same fenestrations (deep cuts, lobes and holes) on its leaves. Rhaphidophora is great at small-scale climbing, and it will thrive when given a moss pole to cling to. They're easy to grow houseplants that will create a ‘Jungalow-style’ look in a large living room, or brightly lit corner.
