A very rare, difficult to obtain plant.
Rhaphidophora foraminifera is a species of flowering plant in the Araceae family.
It is native to Borneo, Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia.
Rhaphidophora foraminifera grow best in medium to bright indirect light.
While it is tolerant of lower light conditions, you may notice leggy growth as a result.
It can withstand 3 hours of direct sunlight, but this beauty should avoid too much direct sun, because the leaves will burn.
Dappled sunlight is ideal.
It prefers average to warm temperatures of 55-80F.
Do not expose the plant to temperatures below 55F, even for a short time, because cold air will damage the foliage.
Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Grows best with a humidity level of 50-60%.
It will thrive in almost any environment, but if you want to give it a special treat, gently mist it once a week.
It's best to mist your plant in the morning, so the water has plenty of time to evaporate before evening.
Use a humidifier, or place your pot on top of a pebble tray with water coming halfway up the pebbles.
Evaporation will provide extra humidity right where your plant needs it.
Water once weekly. Allow the potting mix to dry out before watering.
Water more frequently during warmer months and during its growth season.
During the cooler months of the year, reduce the water to once every 2 weeks.
Do not overwater or keep the soil wet for too long, as this will encourage root rot.
If the leaves are yellowing due to overwatering, skip a week or two of watering.
