Amydrium


Amydrium are rare climbing aroids from Southeast Asia, grown for their glossy, often silver-marked foliage and vigorous climbing habit. Closely related to Monstera and Rhaphidophora, mature plants can develop dramatic, fenestrated leaves. Our collection includes the silver-flushed Amydrium medium 'Silver', the climbing Amydrium zippelianum and rarer variegated forms. Every plant is inspected before dispatch, with next-day delivery available.

    Amydrium: Rare Climbing Aroids

    What Is Amydrium?

    Amydrium is a small genus of climbing aroids native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia. Like their relatives Monstera and Rhaphidophora, they climb using aerial roots and change form as they mature, with juvenile plants often quite different from adults. Amydrium medium 'Silver' is prized for its metallic sheen, while Amydrium zippelianum develops handsome, glossy foliage as it climbs.

    How to Care for Amydrium

    Amydrium are rewarding once settled and share the easy nature of many climbing aroids. They prefer bright, indirect light, a chunky, free-draining aroid mix, and watering when the top of the substrate begins to dry. A moss pole or support encourages larger, more mature foliage. Warm, humid conditions suit them best, and they enjoy the same care as our Philodendron range.
