Rhaphidophora tetrasperma

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a compact climbing aroid with slender stems, aerial roots and naturally split green leaves. The leaf cuts develop clearly when the stem is trained on a moss pole, coir pole or trellis, where the nodes can attach as growth extends.

This species climbs by producing aerial roots along the nodes. With warmth, bright filtered light and a breathable root zone, the stems extend quickly and the leaves develop their characteristic cuts on established growth.

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma plant profile

  • Plant type: Climbing tropical aroid in the Araceae family.
  • Growth habit: Slender climbing stems with aerial roots at the nodes.
  • Leaves: Green leaves with natural splits and an ovate to lanceolate outline.
  • Structure: Trains upward on a pole, plank or trellis.
  • Speed: Can grow actively indoors when warm, bright and evenly watered.
  • Root zone: Needs a loose, oxygen-rich mix with fast drainage.

Climbing growth indoors

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is native to Peninsular Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia, where it grows as a wet-tropical climber. Indoors, the plant keeps the same climbing behaviour on a smaller scale, using aerial roots to anchor the stem as it rises.

Young leaves may be smaller and less cut, while established stems in good light usually produce more clearly split foliage. A stable support keeps the plant vertical as the stem extends beyond the pot.

Care for Rhaphidophora tetrasperma

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps growth compact and protects leaves from sun scorch.
  • Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has dried, then drain the pot fully.
  • Humidity: Average to higher household humidity keeps new leaves from drying at the edges.
  • Temperature: Keep above 18 °C and away from cold glass, drafts or sudden temperature drops.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice or similar coarse material.
  • Support: Attach extending stems loosely until aerial roots begin to grip the pole or trellis.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; flush the substrate occasionally if salts build up.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or watering becomes difficult to balance.
  • Semi-hydro: Established cuttings can adapt to inert mineral substrates with careful root cleaning.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten long vines, branch the plant or propagate stem cuttings.

Common leaf and stem issues

  • Yellow leaves: Wet roots, dry roots or a sudden light change can all trigger yellowing.
  • Leaf curl: Check for underwatering, dry air or root damage before increasing fertiliser.
  • Leaf spots: Wet foliage, poor airflow or stressed roots can lead to marked leaf tissue.
  • Long internodes: Weak light can stretch the stems and space the leaves farther apart.
  • Pests: Watch for thrips, spider mites, scale and mealybugs around nodes and new growth.

Safety for Rhaphidophora tetrasperma

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and small children, and avoid contact with sap if your skin reacts easily.

Name and botanical background

Rhaphidophora tetrasperma was described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1893 in Flora of British India. The species epithet tetrasperma means “four-seeded” and refers to the berries.

Train Rhaphidophora tetrasperma from Foliage Factory on a pole or trellis for fast split-leaf climbing growth.

Huge!
Size: Whole Ears (Pack of 60)
I always bought pig ears at Costco until they quit carrying them. My dogs were addicted at that point, and anything comparable was more than double the price. I ordered a few different brands on Amazon and they were either tiny, or the picture didn’t match what was delivered. I have a Rottweiler. He eats these like potato chips. I read reviews for these that were negative and was hesitant to buy them because of the negative reviews. My only complaint is that I also have a Basset Hound, and she buries these in my house because they’re too big for her to eat at one time.

💔My dogs are throwing up and diarrhea BLOOD!
Size: Whole Ears (Pack of 22)
Salmonella I have 5 dogs. On Thursday, July 17, I received a package of pig ears from this company. This was not the first time my dogs had pig ears but it was the first time I purchased from you. My dogs were each given a pig ear. Within 24 hours, all of my dogs were throwing up and diarrhea. By Saturday, all 5 of my dogs were throwing up straight blood and diarrhea straight blood!!! Puddles! It was horrifying and looked like a crime scene in my house!!! My husband and I were hysterical! My dogs were so weak and lethargic, and sick! 4 of my dogs are under 10lbs and were in the emergency vet getting an IV and fighting for life, as well as my 10 year old American Staff rescue who has a weak immune system because she fought heartworms a year and a half ago before we adopted her. It is currently Monday morning and our nightmare hasn't ended! My husband and I, both work, and have literally not slept since! 24 hours a day we are cleaning up after dogs - vomit, diarrhea, and tons of it! From each! Last night my smallest dachshund threw up 16 times in 15 minutes - on my bed, lap, floor, everywhere! Blood! We are torn- are lives are shattered! In the blink of an eye all because we thought we were spoiling our dogs and giving them a treat! Now they are fighting for life! We have spent thousands at the emergency vet for all of them! We still don't know if they are going to make it! We are so devastated and feel so helpless watching them! We try to console them but how do you console all 5 at once and what do you do when they don't understand & they are so weak and miserable and blood is coming out of their bodies faster than you can clean it! I think it is important for people to be aware! After researching, I found out that this company had a salmonella outbreak across 45 states in 2019.

Dogs love them but they are small.
Size: Half-cut (Pack of 50), Size: Half-cut (Pack of 50)
They are good quality but probably shouldn’t be marketed toward medium size dogs. A good portion of them are very small which is disappointing.
