I just found this monstera at the grocery store! I am so excited I can barely write this but I cannot nail down exactly which kind it is!! Can you guys help me? Pinnatipartita? I never stumbled across one of these at any of the 4 stores available in my town or the surrounding areas so I had to buy her? Her leaves look like a three fingered claw!

This looks like a Rhaphidophera decrusiva (dragon tail) or an older epipremnum pinnatum. They are really gorgeous plants

Hi! Thank you! Chat GPT said this after asking about the petioles…

Monstera pinnatpartita don't fenstrate like this though. They have rounded inner and not just 3 sections. And thick jointed stems are also the same for Rhaphidophera

Ok so what’s your final answer? lol. I’m stumped!

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-03-17

They can be so hard when theyre baby or juvenile. Based on you saying the stems are thick and segmented, I'm going Rhaphidophora decursiva 'Dragon Tail'!!! 😆

Thank you so much! Happy St Patrick’s day from WY!

I am going with a Rhaphidophera decrusiva also! I had 2 and combined them and mine looks exactly the same! For sure a decrusiva! They are beautiful and so green and lush! Congrats!

Definitely a Rhaphidophera aka Dragon Tail

#### Teresa replied on 2025-03-23

I was wondering through a green house and saw one (in much rougher shape) but it was labeled as dragon tail and looked exactly the same!!! Thanks so much! I oddly excited about it and how beautiful it is!!!
