Features & Attributes

Amydrium zippelianum is a striking tropical plant known for its dramatic, heart-shaped leaves that are deep green with contrasting silver or light green veins. The leaves are large, leathery, and glossy, providing an eye-catching addition to any space. As a vining plant, it has a climbing habit, thriving in its natural epiphytic environment where it grows on other plants or trees. The plant can reach impressive lengths of up to 10 feet when provided with proper support, making it an excellent choice for vertical displays. Amydrium zippelianum prefers bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions, similar to its native tropical habitat. It is also sensitive to frost and should be kept above 50°F (10°C) to avoid damage. Like other members of the Araceae family, it is toxic if ingested by pets or humans due to the calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves. Regular pruning and support structures, such as moss poles or trellises, are recommended to maintain its growth habit and overall appearance.

Height:  3-10 feet, if properly supported
Spread:  3-5 feet
Other Names:  Zippel’s Vine, Silver Vine


Planting & Growing

When grown indoors, Amydrium zippelianum can be expected to grow several feet tall, with a spread that depends on its environment and support structure. It is a moderate to fast grower under optimal conditions and can be expected to thrive in bright, indirect light. The plant requires consistently moist, well-draining soil, and it should not be allowed to sit in water, as this can cause root rot. Watering should be done when the top layer of soil begins to dry out, and humidity levels should be kept high for the best growth.

Amydrium zippelianum prefers average to slightly acidic potting soil and benefits from occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Propagation is most commonly done through stem cuttings, and regular pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. This plant thrives in a controlled indoor environment and will not survive outdoor winter temperatures in colder climates.
