Rhaphidophora hayi stems climb tightly up a surface, while its green leaves lay flat, resembling roofing shingles! Use a board or pole to encourage upward growth, and watch it climb! 

Rhaphidophora as a genus is most widely known for its species tetrasperma. Rhaphidophoras are naturally epiphytic climbers & shinglers but grow well as houseplants in typical potting media!

~Do Not place in full sun. Though many Rhaphidophora can be acclimated to full sun, our Rhaphidophora have been grown under shaded, greenhouse conditions.

~Rhaphidophora are considerably hardy & tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, but for the best growth it is recommended to provide higher levels of humidity.

~If trying to get Rhaphidophora to shingle, give them a moss pole or wood board to climb! Make sure to keep the pole or board saturated though so aerial roots can attach & actually climb!
