Here’s a complete Raphidorphia korthalsii aurea verigated:
🌤️ Light
-
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight.
-
A few hours of gentle morning sun helps maintain the golden variegation.
-
Avoid harsh afternoon sunlight — it can scorch the variegated areas.
-
Too little light will make the variegation fade and slow growth.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Ideal range: 22–30°C.
-
Keep away from cold drafts, fans, or air conditioners.
-
Do not expose to temperatures below 16°C — cold can cause leaf damage.
💧 Watering
-
Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy.
-
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.
-
Ensure good drainage — the roots dislike sitting in water.
-
In winter, reduce watering slightly to prevent rot.

🌫️ Humidity
-
Thrives in high humidity (60–80%).
-
Regular misting, humidifiers, or pebble trays are beneficial.
-
In dry indoor air, brown tips may appear on leaves — increase humidity if that happens.
🌱 Soil
-
Needs a well-draining, airy aroid mix to support healthy roots.
Recommended mix:-
40% coco peat or sphagnum moss
-
30% perlite or pumice
-
20% orchid bark
-
10% charcoal or compost
-
-
This combination keeps the soil moist yet breathable.
🍽️ Fertilizer
-
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer.
-
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20) at half strength.
-
During cooler months, feed less often or stop until new growth resumes.
🧗♂️ Growth Habit & Support
-
It’s a climbing aroid, similar to Monstera and Philodendron.
-
Provide a moss pole or vertical board for the plant to attach and climb — mature leaves develop beautiful fenestrations and stronger variegation as it climbs.
🌿 Propagation
-
Propagate via stem cuttings:
-
Cut below a node with at least one leaf.
-
Root in moist sphagnum moss, perlite, or water.
-
Keep warm and humid until roots form, then pot into a soil mix.
-

⚠️ Common Problems
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Yellowing leaves | Overwatering | Let soil dry slightly, check drainage |
| Faded variegation | Low light | Move to brighter indirect light |
| Brown tips | Low humidity or fertilizer burn | Increase humidity, flush soil occasionally |
| Slow growth | Poor nutrition or cold | Maintain warmth and feed monthly |
🌼 Extra Tips
-
Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and shiny.
-
Rotate the plant for even growth and light exposure.
-
Variegated areas have less chlorophyll — avoid over-pruning these parts as they’re the most decorative.
