Rhaphidophora Hayi Live Plant – 4 Inch Potted Shingle Plant

Rhaphidophora hayi, commonly known as the Shingle Plant, is a climbing tropical houseplant known for its distinctive growth pattern. Its aerial roots help it attach to vertical surfaces, while the leaves grow closely against a support, creating a shingle-like appearance.

This live plant is supplied in a 4-inch pot and is listed at 4 inches in height. It grows best with medium to bright indirect light and should be protected from strong direct afternoon sunlight. Allow the top of the potting soil to become dry before watering, and provide a humid environment to support healthy growth.

Approx. 4 inches tall at time of shipping.
