Rhaphidophora hayi
Rhaphidophora hayi is a shingling aroid from tropical Asia, closely related to Monsteras and Philodendrons. Rhaphidophora hayi is very unusual unlike most aroids the leaves do not morph into something larger as it matures. Instead it grows leaves maybe as large as 5 inches and as small as 1/2 inch that will shingle up anything it can climb making a dramatic effect. This plant is not often offered but does great as a terrarium or vivarium plant also does well as a house plant or a tropical climber in warmer zones. The plant offered is shown in the last few photos and is well rooted in a 4 inch pot. FACTS Foliage: Oval dark green leaves shingles as it climbs Flower: ? Height: Climber or crawler Situation: part shade Zone:9 and up Species/Hybridizer Species |
