  • Botanical Name: Rhaphidophora cryptantha
  • Common Names: Shingle Plant
  • Description: Rhaphidophora cryptantha is a rare, evergreen, tropical, shingling climber native to Papua New Guinea. Lae Botanic Garden first cultivated it, and it isn’t clear if this is the actual native habitat. Some sources place the native habitat as Southeast Asia and African tropics. This plant is in high demand, and many plant collectors value its shingling growing habits and lovely foliage – it has beautiful, heart-shaped velvety green or dark green leaves with silvery green markings along the veins. When growing, the leaves press or lie flat on the climbing surface, resembling roofing shingles instead of fanning or growing outwards like most climbers.

Shipping & Returns

We offer a 30-day guarentee. Fulfillment takes approx 2-4 days and shipping 3-5 days from greenhouse to doorstep. Nov-Mar we recommend adding winter plant shipping protection to your order or it will not be covered by our 30-day guarentee.

Care Instructions

Place in bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. High humidity is preferred; consider misting or using a humidifier. Use a well-draining potting mix, rich in organic matter. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Provide a support or trellis for climbing. Keep away from drafts and maintain a stable environment.
