3" Rhaphidophora elliptifolia (Variegated)

Rhaphidophora elliptifolia (Variegated) is a rare and elegant climbing variety, showcasing beautifully elongated, elliptical leaves streaked with creamy white, soft yellow, and minty green variegation. As it matures, the plant climbs readily and produces larger leaves with even more dramatic marbling.

Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this species thrives in warm temperatures, bright filtered light, and high humidity. Give it a well-draining aroid mix, steady moisture, and a sturdy support to climb for the best coloration and growth. Variegated forms appreciate brighter light to maintain contrast, but should be protected from direct sun.

Fun fact: Unlike many variegated aroids that can be finicky, R. elliptifolia variegated is known for maintaining its pattern reliably and growing at a steady, manageable pace—making it a standout piece for collectors looking for something both rare and stable.
