Rhaphidophora decursiva

Rhaphidophora decursiva Details

Rhaphidophora decursiva, commonly known as the Dragon Tail Plant or Philodendron Dragon, is a climber that features lush foliage and often grown as an indoor plant. The leaves are large and dark green, and very aesthetic. It will slowly climb a pole or the like or grow as a spreading ground cover if it has nothing to climb. It typically grows to 40 cm tall and 70 cm wide but can reach greater sizes in tropical climates or with something to climb. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is grown on a well-drained, sheltered site in partial shade. Rhaphidophora decursiva is commonly grown as a potted plant with a pole to climb, planted outdoors in frost free areas around outdoor living areas, or used in offices and foyers.
