Rhaphidophora Decursiva (Dragon Tail) is a fast-growing tropical climber with glossy green leaves that become deeply lobed as the plant matures. Popular for its bold, architectural foliage and vigorous growth, it makes a stunning statement indoors or in shaded outdoor spaces. Its vining nature allows it to climb, trail, or fill vertical space when supported.
This versatile plant thrives in bright, indirect light and humid environments but will also tolerate lower light conditions. Easy to care for and highly decorative, it’s ideal for adding a lush, jungle-like feel to interiors or covered patios.
