Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Rhaphidophora crassicaulis thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings.
Prune to maintain desired shape or size, or to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth and more aerial root development.
Propagate Rhaphidophora crassicaulis via stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or moist potting mix.
Roots typically form within a few weeks, after which it can be planted in its own pot.
Repot your Rhaphidophora crassicaulis every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend for aroids or a peat-based mix with added perlite.
