Rhaphidophora decursiva (Creeping Philodendron)

Rhaphidophora decursiva (commonly known as Creeping Philodendron) is an impressive tropical houseplant renowned for its large, glossy leaves and climbing growth habit. Native to Southeast Asia and India, this plant boasts deeply lobed, dark green leaves that can grow quite large as the plant matures. Its unique leaves, which start out heart-shaped and gradually develop fenestrations (splits), give the plant a bold and exotic appearance, making it a stunning focal point in any room.

Indoors, Rhaphidophora decursiva can reach up to 5-6 feet tall when supported by a trellis or moss pole, making it a fantastic choice for vertical spaces.

Care Instructions:
