Rhaphidophora hongkongensis ‘Variegata’ – The Twisted Climber with a Splash of Cream
Rhaphidophora hongkongensis ‘Variegata’ is the rare, climbing aroid you didn’t know you needed. With long, twisting stems and narrow lance-shaped leaves splashed in unpredictable creamy-white and pale yellow variegation, this plant is pure jungle elegance — with a wild side.
Native to Southeast Asia and still relatively unknown in cultivation, this variegated form is exceptionally rare, making it a true gem for collectors craving something different from the usual Monstera crowd. It climbs quickly with support, and every new leaf is a surprise — some streaked, some marbled, all beautiful.
Why This Plant Is a Must-Have:
Super rare variegation – Cream, white, and yellow on narrow green leaves
Fast-growing climber – Loves a pole, totem, or wooden board
Elegant, slender growth – A totally different vibe from chunky aroids
Perfect for collectors – Hard to find, impossible to forget
Tolerant and adaptable – Bright, indirect light and chunky mix = win
Keep it warm, give it support, and let it climb. Use a well-aerated aroid mix and water when the top inch dries out. Bright indirect light will bring out its best variegation — and with a little patience, it’ll become a living column of cream-streaked jungle beauty.
Extremely limited availability – Rhaphidophora hongkongensis ‘Variegata’ is a sleek, rare climber made for true plant collectors. Grab yours before it vanishes back into obscurity.
