Rhaphidophora decursiva 'Dragon Tail'

Rhaphidophora decursiva 'Dragon Tail' is a climbing aroid grown for its large green leaves and dramatic mature leaf division. Young plants usually carry simpler foliage, while established climbing stems can develop long, deeply cut mature leaves.

The plant grows with robust stems and aerial roots that attach to a moss pole, coir pole or other vertical support. In bright filtered light, steady warmth and an airy root zone, the stem can thicken and climb steadily over time.

Dragon Tail plant profile

  • Plant type: Climbing tropical aroid in the Araceae family.
  • Growth habit: Robust climbing stems with aerial roots that grip a support.
  • Leaves: Juvenile leaves are simpler, while mature leaves become larger and more divided.
  • Foliage colour: Green leaves with a firm tropical texture and a deeply cut mature outline.
  • Support: A pole or slab gives the climbing stems a surface for aerial-root attachment.
  • Indoor structure: Mature stems need vertical support as leaf size increases.

Climbing growth and mature leaves

Rhaphidophora decursiva is a wet-tropical climber native from the Indian Subcontinent to South China and Indo-China. Its foliage changes noticeably with maturity, moving from less divided juvenile leaves into much longer, split leaves on established, supported climbing stems.

In a pot, the stem should be guided early so the aerial roots can attach cleanly. A stable support also keeps the plant easier to handle as the leaves expand and the stem thickens.

Care for Rhaphidophora decursiva 'Dragon Tail'

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light; harsh direct sun can scorch exposed leaf surfaces.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate has partly dried, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity keeps new divided leaves opening more evenly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with protection from cold drafts.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice or similar airy materials.
  • Support: Tie young stems loosely to a pole until aerial roots start gripping by themselves.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or watering becomes difficult to regulate.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser.
  • Semi-hydro: Established plants can adapt to inert mineral substrates if the roots are cleaned and oxygen stays available.
  • Pruning: Trim long bare sections above a node to redirect growth or take cuttings.

Dragon Tail troubleshooting

  • Small leaves: Weak light, low warmth or unstable support can slow mature leaf development.
  • Yellow leaves: Check for wet, dense substrate around the roots before increasing watering.
  • Brown patches: Direct sun, dry roots or cold stress can mark the leaf surface.
  • Soft stems: Wet substrate with low oxygen can damage roots and lower stem tissue.
  • Pests: Inspect nodes, petioles and new leaves for thrips, spider mites, scale or mealybugs.

Safety for Rhaphidophora decursiva 'Dragon Tail'

Rhaphidophora plants contain irritating calcium oxalate crystals. Keep Rhaphidophora decursiva 'Dragon Tail' away from pets and small children, and avoid contact with sap if your skin is sensitive.

Botanical background of Rhaphidophora decursiva 'Dragon Tail'

Rhaphidophora decursiva traces back to Roxburgh's Pothos decursivus and was transferred to Rhaphidophora by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1857. 'Dragon Tail' is grown as a cultivated form of this climbing species with large, divided mature foliage.

Versatile Room Divider With Easy Assembly and Strong Coverage
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
I picked up this Siebwin 3-panel folding room divider mainly for privacy and room separation, and overall it works very well. Assembly is very straightforward, and the divider can be set up, taken apart, and stored without much effort. The fabric quality feels good, and the frame construction is stronger and more stable than expected. The support tubes especially feel well built and help keep the divider standing securely. One feature I really liked is the flexibility of the design. The panels can be used together as a complete divider or separated depending on the setup and available space. That makes it much more versatile for different room layouts or temporary privacy needs. The coverage is also very good, and the size matches the manufacturer’s description accurately. The fabric blocks light and background visibility well enough to provide solid privacy without feeling overly heavy. The wider feet also help improve stability compared to thinner folding dividers. Another positive detail is that everything arrived complete with no missing parts or damaged pieces, which made assembly much easier and faster. Compared to cheaper privacy screens, this one feels more durable and easier to customize depending on the situation. In terms of value for the money, it feels like a very practical and worthwhile purchase considering the size, flexibility, and build quality. Overall, a versatile and well-built room divider with easy assembly, strong privacy coverage, stable construction, complete included parts, flexible panel configuration, and excellent everyday functionality.

Stable, flexible in deployment configuration, creates true privacy and looks great.
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
This is the second room divider panel I have installed, and there are several features about this one that I like much better than my older one. The fact that there are no gaps and that the material is thicker means you get more privacy or more hiding power, if you wish. My older divider has vertical spaces between each of the panels and the panels are half as wide as the Siebwin panels, so there are many vertical spaces. The Siebwin divider really creates privacy. Another feature that I really appreciate is that the legs are wider and stand off from the floor. On my older one the legs are flat and they're rather awkward to adjust because they create more drag on the floor. The feet on the older one also loosen if you turn them counter clockwise, so adjustments of configuration that require the feet to be moved are more complex. The older divider also must be deployed in a zig-zag fashion because he feet are not as wide, but this new one can be deployed and stable in a straight, an "N" shape or an arc. They are both the same length, but because the older one must be use in a zig-zag deployment it doesn't reach to the length of the new one. The Siebwin divider definitely costs more at $103.48, but it sports several features and advantages over the other brand, so it does a better job and is worth the extra cost.

Easy to assemble, does the job, material is shiny nylon and shows creases, minor defects, sloppy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W, Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin room divider is a good idea, and for the price, it mostly delivers on the intended functionality. I ordered the 12 foot, 3-panel version mainly to hide an unfinished basement storage area that had become an eyesore. It works well for that purpose and gives the space a cleaner appearance without spending the kind of money that more decorative dividers or custom partitions cost. If you need something temporary, portable, or mainly functional, this is a viable option. There are a few limitations that became obvious during setup and use. The first thing I noticed was that the weld quality on some of the metal poles is fairly sloppy. Once the cover is installed, you do not really see it, but up close, it does not look especially refined or professional. The blackout material also is not a matte canvas style fabric as I expected. It has more of a shiny nylon appearance, and the creases are fairly visible. Being that it’s more of a nylon, I’d be hesitant to try steaming it to remove the creases. However, the creases do not matter if you are using it in a basement, dorm, or shared room, but for photography, video work, or a professional office setting, the appearance could be disappointing. The fabric is thick enough, though. It blocks visibility well enough, but strong light behind it still shows through to some extent, nothing deal-breaking. Also, my fabric appeared to be slightly defective. The hook and loop strip on one of the bottom sections was off-center and couldn't be totally attached because it was lined up with one of the legs. I originally hoped to use this as a video backdrop, but I will probably end up replacing the fabric with a proper green screen or canvas material while continuing to use the frame itself. For now, it does a good job of covering my basement junk. Assembly was actually easier than I expected and took roughly 15 to 20 minutes. The longer vertical poles are tethered together similarly to tent poles, which made setup straightforward and fairly intuitive. The shorter horizontal pieces slide and snap together to the top and bottom of the vertical assembly. After each section is assembled, the divider panels connect together with metal plates and two knurled screws (at the top and bottom), so no tools are really required. A few screws were difficult to start because paint had gotten into the threads, but once they caught, they tightened down normally. The feet install with similar knurled fasteners and help keep the divider reasonably stable. One thing to watch for during setup is the fabric orientation. There is one arrow indicator in the middle of the fabric to indicate up. However, if you need another indicator, the smaller hook and loop strip goes on the bottom while the longer strip goes on top. I realized mine was upside down right before finishing and had to redo it. I wasn't difficult to redo, despite the defect in mine. The overall design is practical and easy to move around. I do like that the panels can fold and bend into different shapes depending on the space. The widened feet help stability, although when trying to stretch the fabric tight, I noticed the poles sometimes wanted to overlap slightly at the joints. Tightening everything helped somewhat, but it still happened occasionally. The divider feels adequate for normal indoor use, though I would not expect premium durability or luxury-level fit and finish at this price point. The entire device can also be easily disabled and stored in a tote if you need it completely out of the way. It comes with assembly instructions, but even if you didn’t have them, it’s easy to build without them (save a mistake or two). In terms of value, I think the Siebwin divider mostly matches its price. Around $100 gets you a large freestanding partition with decent usability and easy assembly, but there are compromises in materials, appearance, and refinement. The defects are also off-putting, but hopefully you won't have them. Higher-end room dividers can easily cost two or three times more, so some of the tradeoffs are expected. I also noticed cheaper alternatives online, but based on the quality here, I suspect those would probably have even more issues. For practical home use, temporary privacy, hiding storage areas, or separating shared spaces, this is a good option as long as expectations stay realistic.

Works well but takes up more space than expected
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W, Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This room divider does the job for creating a little extra privacy and was easy enough to set up. The panels feel decent quality and the wider feet help keep it more stable than some cheaper screens I’ve tried. My only issue is that it takes up a bit more room than I expected, especially with the feet sticking out. It’s still portable and folds away nicely, but definitely measure your space first. Overall it works well for separating a room or blocking off an area temporarily. i wish it came in other colors
