🌿 Rhaphidophora Decursiva — Dragon Tail Live Plant in a 6-Inch Pot

Bring dramatic tropical foliage to your plant collection with Rhaphidophora decursiva, commonly known as Dragon Tail. This striking climbing aroid is admired for its glossy green leaves, which develop deep splits and elongated lobes as the plant matures. Its bold foliage creates a lush, jungle-inspired look that appeals to houseplant collectors and tropical plant enthusiasts.

Young plants typically have simpler leaves, while mature growth can develop the distinctive, deeply divided appearance that makes Dragon Tail so eye-catching. Give it suitable light, warmth, and climbing support to encourage healthy growth.

✨ WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

• One live Rhaphidophora decursiva plant

• Grown in a 6-inch nursery pot

• A living plant similar to the pictures

Each plant is unique. Leaf size, shape, fullness, and degree of splitting may vary depending on the plant’s age and growing conditions.

☀️ LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Provide bright, indirect light for healthy growth. Medium light may be tolerated, but growth can be slower and leaves may remain smaller. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.

💧 WATERING

Water when the top 1–2 inches of potting mix feel dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the pot standing in water, as consistently wet soil can cause root problems. Reduce watering when growth slows in cooler months.

🌱 SOIL & DRAINAGE

Use a chunky, airy aroid mix that retains some moisture while allowing excess water to drain. Orchid bark, coco coir, and perlite or pumice can help create a suitable balance. Choose a pot with drainage holes.

🌡️ TEMPERATURE

This tropical plant prefers warm conditions, approximately 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, and avoid exposing it to temperatures below approximately 55°F (13°C).

💦 HUMIDITY

Rhaphidophora decursiva appreciates moderate to high humidity. A humidifier or naturally humid growing area can support healthy foliage. Consistent room humidity is generally more helpful than occasional misting.

🌿 FERTILIZING

During active growth in spring and summer, use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer according to the label directions. Reduce or pause feeding when growth slows in cooler months.

🪴 CLIMBING SUPPORT & GROWTH

Dragon Tail is a natural climber. A moss pole, plank, or trellis gives the plant room to grow upward and may encourage larger leaves with more pronounced splits as it matures. Growth and leaf shape will depend on light, support, and overall care.

✂️ PRUNING & PROPAGATION

Remove damaged or yellowing leaves with clean tools. Stem cuttings containing at least one viable node may be used for propagation, although rooting success varies.

⚠️ PET & CHILD SAFETY

Like many aroids, Rhaphidophora decursiva contains calcium oxalate crystals and may cause irritation if chewed or swallowed. Keep the plant away from children and pets, and avoid ingesting any part of it.
