Dear Angel, The juvinile stages/plants of certain climbing aroids (the best known genus that does this is Monstera) produce leaves thay lie FLAT and partially overlapping on the surface that they are climbing/attached to and the leaves thus have the pattern of 'shingle' tiles on a roof.

Are these shingle plants only in the juvenile stage, or permanently? Would you consider leafy liverworts? Jason Hernandez +More Naturalist-at-Large

From: "brian williams" pugturd50 at hotmail.com> on 2002.03.23 at 04:14:02(8323) I believe most of the hoyas are permanent shingle type leafs. Some produce both leafs at the sometime in growth. The other leafs are used for ant homes. +More As for the liverworts I think they would be considered shingle plants. I would not mind trying a few that had that growth habit. I don't know for sure if they would be considered a Shingle plants maybe a shingle fungus? The other plant family's that are shingle forms are Aroids, Hoyas, Marcgravia, Ficus, Dischidia I am looking for forms of aroids Rhapidophora korthalsii, and other species of Rhapidophora as well as Pedicellarum, Pothos species, Scindapsus, Also these two are ones I have never seen but would love to get. Culcasia species and Philodendron hederaceum which both have this shingle growth habit. So I thank anyone with info on how to get these I listed let me know if interested in trade or I am willing to buy.
