Rhaphidophora hayi, also known as the Shingle Plant (the same common name shared with Monstera dubia), is one of the most unique climbing houseplants you can grow. Instead of producing split leaves like its famous relative, the Mini Monstera (Rhaphidophora tetrasperma), this species climbs by anchoring itself with aerial roots and pressing its glossy green leaves flat against a wooden board or moss pole, creating a beautiful wall of overlapping foliage that looks almost painted onto the surface. It grows best on a porous support where its roots can naturally attach, gradually forming a stunning vertical display several feet tall. Slow-growing, easy to propagate, and happiest in bright indirect light with warm, humid conditions, Rhaphidophora hayi is a true collector's plant that turns an ordinary board into a living piece of tropical art.

Red Rhipsalis. Arched then completely pendant flat tapeworm stems turn deep violet red in high light; tiny flowers followed by ornamental shell berries lining both edges of the ribbon stems most attractively.

Rhipsalis pilocarpa is an incredibly rare, "hairy-fruited wickerware cactus" from Brazil that's bound to wow any plant lover. Its fuzzy, spidery stems can reach up to 20 inches before branching out, and they're decorated with small, white to peach-colored flowers that release a light, pleasant fragrance. After blooming, it produces pink or red berries covered in fine bristles, adding yet another layer of charm to this extraordinary jungle cactus.
Despite its exotic appearance, Rhipsalis pilocarpa is surprisingly easy to grow. It thrives with minimal watering in well-draining soil, prefers indirect light, and loves warm, humid conditions - think tropical vibes! If you're lucky enough to live in USDA Zones 9-11, it can even flourish outdoors all year long.
The plant is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, it has a very limited natural range in Brazil and is known to exist in only a small number of isolated locations. Additionally, its rarity can lead to over-collection by plant enthusiasts, which adds extra pressure on remaining wild populations.
This is a true conversation starter, making it a must-have for anyone seeking a standout addition to their rare plant collection.
