Rhaphidophora Decursiva
Rhaphidophora Decursiva is an impressive indoor plant known for its dramatic, large leaves and vigorous growth.

Its robust growth habit and striking foliage make it a fantastic addition to any indoor garden or vivarium.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Rhaphidophora Decursiva thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions but will grow more robustly and display more vibrant foliage in brighter settings. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves and impact the plant's overall health.
Watering & Humidity:
Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Rhaphidophora Decursiva prefers moderate to high humidity, so occasional misting or using a humidity tray can help maintain optimal moisture levels and support healthy growth.
Temperature Requirement:
The ideal temperature range for Rhaphidophora Decursiva is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to ensure it remains healthy and vibrant.
