Here in Sarawak Scindapsus crassipes, S. geniculatus. S. beccarii and a couple of yet-to-be-described spp. are obligate primary epiphytes; all form fans of foliage that function as litter-traps. In S. geniculatus there is extensive formation of short, erect, pointed roots into the accumulated litter in the same manner as happens in many Anthurium.
