Introducing the Rhaphidorpha Dicursiva 'Dragon's Tail' While this little buddy resembles the indoor plant lover's favourite, the Delicious Monster, it is not even of the same family!

The 'Dragon's Tail' in a grow pot is perfect for the plant lover who loves the look of the Monstera but has less space for its grandiose foliage.
