I received these cuttings a while ago and just transferred them to soil as they had rooted well. Does anybody know what to expect ? Will it need a support like moss pole and how to care for it ? Thank you plant friends.

    Hey there! Congrats on the new plant! This is a Raphidophora Decursiva also known as Dragon Tail. Like other aroids, they prefer chunkier mix with lots of aerating amendments. I personally use coco coir, charcoal, orchid bark, perlite, and worm castings as my mix. I water once every other week with this mix in a 8 inch pot. These plants will further fenestrate with time when provided a lot of light! But be careful with too much light as the leaves can burn. I feed mine generously because it helps give the plant enough nutrients to support the larger, mature leaves. They are a climbing plant but they also look pretty trailing. You’ll want high humidity too or the new leaves won’t unfurl. Hope this helps and good luck! 💚
