An incredibly beautiful plant that climbs flat against the ground
When young, Rhaphidophora tenuis grows with its leaves angled upwards towards the substrate. As an adult, the leaves completely change shape and only then does the plant resemble a typical Rhaphidophora with lobed leaves. As a potted plant indoors, it is very easy to care for as long as it is allowed to grow on a good plant support such as a moss stake.
Botanical description.
This species is native to northwestern Borneo. It is a climbing plant and grows primarily in humid, tropical environments. It was described in 1881
Care
Rhaphidophora tenuis needs a plant support to reach its adult form. Therefore, we recommend extending the plant support if necessary. Water very sparingly and let the soil dry out almost completely between waterings. Young plants should be protected from direct sunlight, while adult specimens can tolerate some direct sun.
