Decorative FoliageLight Preference/Tolerated (Bright Indirect Light, Medium Light)Average Watering NeedsMature Height 3-4 Feet Dragon Tail Philodendron is a tropical foliage plant that forms aerial roots as it grows. These roots will readily grab onto supports like a moss pole or piece of wood to create a fabulous vertical shape. The glossy, deep green leaves are smooth and elliptical when young. As the leaves mature, they split into sections and can get quite large in diameterup to 12 inches long! Best Locations For Growing Dragon Tail PhilodendronAny corner of the house that needs decorating is suitable for the Dragon Tail Philodendron. It needs to be trained to grow vertically on a moss pole or some other support, which makes it a good floor plant for smaller areas. All parts of Rhaphidorpha decursiva are toxic and should be kept away from pets and children.Dragon Tail Philodendron Sunlight RequirementsAn east- or west-facing window's filtered indirect light is ideal and will encourage this tropical to grow the quickest. Medium and low light levels are also well tolerated, although growth may slow or stop. If the leaves begin to look thin with less splitting, the light levels are too low. Dragon Tail will appreciate growing on a semi-shaded to full-shade porch or deck during the summer. Make sure to bring the plant back indoors before nighttime temperatures fall to 50 degrees F.Dragon Tail Philodendron CareRepot Dragon Tail every 2-3 years in a potting mix containing perlite or vermiculite added for good drainage. Prune the top growth when it gets too tall or if the top growth is too heavy for the pot. Train this Philodendron to climb a moss-covered pole or another trellis while it is still young. The aerial roots will grab on with little support. Cuttings of side shoots can be taken at any time of the year to propagate new plants. The cuttings will grow roots quickly in water and can be potted in just a few months.Watering Dragon Tail PhilodendronWater this tropical when the top 3-4 inches of soil are dry. Philodendrons, in general, can be pretty drought tolerant when they mature. Dragon Tail is the same and can go for up to 2 weeks without watering in low light levels. Add humidity by misting the leaves every other day with distilled water. Grouping plants together is also a great way to provide a more humid atmosphere. Feeding Dragon Tail PhilodendronA liquid seaweed or general houseplant fertilizer will keep the leaves deep green and thriving. Apply a diluted dose once a month in place of regular watering. Use the fertilizer at half the strength of the manufacturer's recommendation.Dragon Tail Philodendron InformationLight Exposure: Bright Indirect Light, Medium LightCare Requirements: EasyWatering Requirements: Average - When the top 2 inches of the soil dries out.Pet Friendly: NoKid Friendly: NoAir Purifier: HighHabit: ClimbingGrowth Rate: FastMature Height: 3-4 feetMature Spread: 12-18 inchesFlowering: NoFlower Color(s): NoneFlower Shade/Description: Grown for FoliageFragrant: NoFoliage Type: Foliage Color(s): Green, YellowFoliage Description: Light-Green to YellowTemperature: 64 - 77F (18 - 25C)Humidity: Average (40% - 60%)Common Name: Dragon Tail PhilodendronOthe | Houseplants > Philodendron Plant Addicts 4_PHILODENDRON_DRAGON.TAIL-HP
