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.
