Amydrium medium ‘Silver’

Amydrium medium ‘Silver’ is a rare and striking aroid treasured for its elongated, silvery-blue leaves with dramatic fenestrations that appear as the plant matures. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this climbing species is often mistaken for Monstera or Philodendron, but it stands apart with its unique metallic sheen and deeply cut foliage. Its unusual appearance makes it a must-have for collectors and a bold statement piece in any indoor jungle.

Key Features:

Size: In indoor conditions, Amydrium medium ‘Silver’ can reach 3–6 feet (90–180 cm) when given vertical support like a moss pole or trellis. 

Growth: Young plants have narrow, silvery leaves that become larger and more fenestrated with maturity. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it well-suited for vertical displays.

Pet Friendliness:

This plant is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalates, which are toxic if ingested by cats, dogs, or other pets. Keep it safely out of reach of pets and small children.

Care Instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too little light reduces leaf fenestration, while direct sun can scorch the foliage.

Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure the pot drains well—roots are sensitive to overwatering. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60%+). Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting to maintain moisture.

Temperature: Best kept in warm conditions between 18°C–27°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir to support healthy root growth.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Pause feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves at the base to maintain plant health and encourage new growth.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or once root-bound. Providing a moss pole or trellis will promote larger, more fenestrated leaves.

Pro Tip: To bring out its signature fenestrations, give your Amydrium medium ‘Silver’ both strong indirect light and a climbing surface. The combination encourages faster maturity and more dramatic foliage.
