Rhaphidophora Hayi is a beautiful shingling climber with deep Forest green heart shaped velvety leaves. At maturity the leaves can reach 5 cm in diameter. However, this will only occur if the plant is mounted on a suitable surface such as untreated soft wood or a sphagnum moss totem.
Mainly it grows in monsoon forest and rainforest. They also remain flat and have a unique growing pattern. They are epiphytic (it must grow on a supporting tree or plant) from which it will derive some of its nutrients from. Shingle plants are incredibly easy to propagate in moist soil. Stem cuttings are the best way to go about it. Take some sharp sheers and cut a piece of stem about 5 inches long with two or three nodes. Dip the base of the cutting in rooting hormone powder, and plant it with one node in soil. Most Hayi plants that have more than a leaf or two will come growing up along a wooden board.
