Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Rhaphidophora hayi thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the soil become waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during the cooler winter months, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.
Prune Rhaphidophora hayi to maintain its shape, control its size, or encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellowing, damaged, or leggy stems using clean, sharp shears.
Pruning can be done at any time, but is best done in spring before active growth begins.
Propagate Rhaphidophora hayi through stem cuttings. Take cuttings that are at least 10-15 cm long, ensuring each cutting has at least one node. Root the cuttings in water or a well-draining potting mix.
New growth should appear within a few weeks.
Repot Rhaphidophora hayi every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. Repotting is best done in spring.
