Rhaphidophora Puberula Variegata #7

The Rhaphidophora Puberula Variegata is a stunning rare plant. Its variegation is unpredictable, due to it being a genetic mutation, making each leaf completely unique. No two leaves are alike! The variegation often starts out with a soft yellowish tint which then matures into a creamy white. The plant can also produce flowers which have an unexpected, sweet scent (mix of frangipani flowers and pineapple). 

Care instructions

☀️ Bright, indirect light. Exposing it to direct (afternoon)light can cause sunburn to the leaves.  

💦🪴 Let the top 3-5 centimeters (or 25-30%) of the soil dry out before watering again.  Sitting in soaked soil too long can cause root rot. We prefer to use clear container pots so we can monitor the soil en roots. 

🌡️ Will thrive in a consistent roomtemperture between 18°C and 28°C.

💧Will thrive in a roomhumidity between 60-80%

🪴🧪 Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). During the winter dormancy period (winter and fall) the plant does not need to be fertilized (or it should be heavily diluted).

🌱✨ Giving it a mosspole or plantstick will help stimulate bigger leaves.
