Description:

Rhaphidophora superstar is a striking, rare climbing aroid known for its bold and splashed foliage. This plant stands out with its elongated, glossy green leaves adorned with striking cream splashes, creating a starry-like effect that gives it its “superstar” name. Native to Southeast Asia, Rhaphidophora superstar is a fast-growing, climber that’s perfect for adding an exotic touch to any indoor collection.

Its distinctive leaf pattern makes it an eye-catching addition to any space. It thrives on vertical support, so a moss pole or trellis is ideal for supporting its climbing nature. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and a perfect choice for both beginners and experienced plant collectors alike.

Care Tips:

  • Provide bright, indirect light to preserve the vibrant splashes of color in the leaves. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves.

  • Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, but make sure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

  • Humidity of 50% or higher is ideal, but Rhaphidophora superstar can adapt to average indoor humidity.

  • Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.

  • A well-draining aroid mix, such as orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir, is best for healthy root development.

Growth Habit:

  • A vigorous climber that can reach 4–6 feet or more in length when given vertical support.

  • Ideal for hanging baskets, as a trailing vine, or climbing on a moss pole or trellis.

  • Fast-growing in optimal conditions, perfect for adding lush greenery to any space.

Pet Safety:

Toxic to pets and humans if ingested (contains calcium oxalate crystals). Keep out of reach of pets and small children.
