Rhaphidophora Care Guide

Rhaphidophora, also known as Shingle Plants or Mini Monstera/Monstera minima, are stunning houseplants known for their unique, trailing growth habits and beautiful foliage!

------------------------------------

FLOWERS:
Rhaphidophora plants rarely produce flowers indoors, but when they do, they're typically small and greenish-white. The main attraction of these plants is their stunning leaves, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Whether you're growing Rhaphidophora decursiva or Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, the foliage is sure to impress.

------------------------------------

WATERING:
When it comes to watering Rhaphidophora plants, it's essential to strike a balance. These plants prefer moist soil but can't tolerate standing water. Water your Rhaphidophora plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure the pot has good drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil.

------------------------------------

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS:
Rhaphidophora plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so a spot with filtered sunlight is ideal. East- or west-facing windows are perfect for Rhaphidophora plants. If you're growing your Rhaphidophora plant in a low-light spot, it may not grow as quickly.

------------------------------------

PROPAGATION:
Rhaphidophora plants can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take 3-4 inch stem cuttings with at least two nodes, remove lower leaves, and plant them in a pot of moist soil. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm until roots develop. You can also propagate Rhaphidophora plants by layering or division.

.------------------------------------

MEDIUMS:
Rhaphidophora plants prefer well-draining potting soil that's designed for tropical plants. Look for a potting mix that's specifically labeled as "houseplant potting mix" or "tropical plant potting mix." These mixes are designed to retain moisture but drain excess water, preventing root rot.
