Does anyone grow their Rhaphidophora Decursiva as a crawler? My little one seems to want to grow horizontal but online it says they are climbers.

if there’s no support all it can do is grow horizontally

The vines are stiff like bamboo when the grow. You have to train them early to climb structure or a moss pole.

Okay that’s great to know, thank you!

Thank you. I have 2 of them and they are just starting to get split leaves. I guess I’ll clean the leaves and get my poles out of the garage.
