Master the Art of Shingling with Beyond Beleaf's Board Supports | Beyond Beleaf

Shingling plants are a unique and captivating addition to any houseplant collection. With their stunning, flat-growing foliage that hugs vertical surfaces, plants like Rhaphidophora hayi and Monstera dubia bring an extraordinary aesthetic to your indoor garden. However, successfully caring for these plants requires the right support system to help them thrive. That’s where Beyond Beleaf’s Shingling Board Support comes in—a game-changer for plant enthusiasts seeking healthy, vibrant growth from their shingling plants.

Why Do Shingling Plants Need Specialized Support?

Unlike climbing plants that grow outward, shingling plants naturally grow flat against a surface, mimicking their growth patterns in the wild where they climb tree trunks. Without the right support, they lose their characteristic shingling pattern and may become leggy or fail to grow properly. Traditional moss poles or generic plant supports are often unsuitable for shingling plants due to their uneven or round surfaces.

Beyond Beleaf’s Shingling Board Support is specifically designed to mimic the smooth, vertical surfaces these plants need, making it the perfect solution for encouraging natural growth patterns and maintaining their striking appearance

What Makes Beyond Beleaf’s Shingling Board Support Unique?

1. Smooth Vertical Surface for Natural Growth

The Shingling Board Support offers a flat, vertical surface that allows shingling plants to grow naturally, mimicking their wild habitat. This design encourages tighter, healthier foliage and prevents the plant from losing its characteristic growth style.

2. Eco-Friendly Coco Chips for Root Health

Our boards are prefilled with coco chips, a sustainable and renewable alternative to moss. Coco chips not only retain moisture longer but also support robust aerial root development, ensuring that your shingling plants have a strong foundation for growth.

3. Minimal Maintenance Design

With traditional moss poles or flat boards, keeping the substrate moist can be a hassle. Beyond Beleaf’s Shingling Board Support simplifies this with easy water absorption, reducing the need for frequent misting while keeping your plant happy.

4. Modular and Extendable

As your shingling plant grows, the board can be extended seamlessly, ensuring that your plant continues to thrive without disruption. The modular design makes it easy to support plants at any stage of growth, from a small cutting to a fully mature specimen.

How to Use Beyond Beleaf’s Shingling Board Support

Step 1: Start with a Healthy Cutting or Young Plant

Choose a cutting or young plant that is ready to shingle. Look for a plant with active nodes and healthy aerial roots.

Step 2: Anchor the Plant to the Board

Gently secure the plant to the Shingling Board Support using the included soft plant Velcro. Position the plant so its nodes and aerial roots align with the board’s surface for optimal growth.

Step 3: Maintain Moisture Levels

While traditional supports require frequent misting, the coco chips in Beyond Beleaf’s board retain moisture effectively. You can also enhance growth by incorporating mycorrhiza fungi, which create a symbiotic relationship with your plant’s roots.

Step 4: Extend the Board as the Plant Grows

When your plant outgrows its current support, simply add another segment to the board. This ensures your plant can continue its upward growth without interruption.
