Amydrium Zippelianum
Zippelianum – What a gorgeous, palm leaf aroid, easy to grow Amydrium Zippelianum forms large palm-like leaves with ample node spacing and a very bushy appearance. Young plants look nothing like mature specimens, they have smaller leaves with a lankier vining appearance, however our fast growing mother plant, only took 3 months before the nodes tightened up and formed massive leaves. Zippelianum grows best when provided with a burlap warped totem indoors or outdoors up your favorite tree. Truly a great plant!
Imagine owning a one-of-a-kind plant, Amydrium, renowned for its glossy leaves that are truly a spectacle. What sets it apart? The leaves, during their early growth stage, develop numerous circular to oval openings, or fenestrations, near the center vein. As it ages, the leaves evolve into a fascinating pattern of perforations, enhancing its unique charm. Not just that, this plant is an avid climber, thriving when presented with a structure to ascend.
Watch as its leaves transform, becoming larger and more striking as it climbs. The Amydrium is remarkably adaptable too, capable of enduring lower light conditions but truly coming alive in medium to bright indirect light. Concerning its hydration, the plant thrives on frequent watering during summer, with care taken to let the soil dry slightly between watering's avoiding over-hydration. Come winter, you can reduce watering frequency, aligning with the plant's decreased water requirements due to cooler temperatures. Isn't it time you added this striking addition to your indoor garden collection?
Be sure to always check back as we offer over several rare varieties throughout the year, all shapes, sizes and colors.
Why Verify? Aroid species often exhibit similar characteristics in their juvenile stage, making precise identification challenging. Many enthusiasts may mistakenly categorize various species due to their resemblances before they reach full maturity. This confusion is further compounded when plants from different geographical regions, such as South America or Europe, are given identical names despite their mature forms displaying distinct differences. Our innovative verify program provides a solution to this issue by offering a glimpse of the mature form of the plant before making a purchase.
How We Verify? Our years-long project has successfully nurtured over 600 unique varieties, grown on large poles for precise evaluation of their size, node spacing, leaf color, stem width, and growth rate etc.

Our plants are grown in conditions akin to a natural, humid rainforest, using minimal pesticides. Occasional leaf drop, spotting, or browning, especially in varieties with significant white, are normal. In our nursery, plants thrive under 40-80% shade cloth. If grown outdoors, direct exposure to full sun may cause leaf burn. We suggest gradually introducing the plants to sunny areas over a week or so to reduce stress for optimal results. Despite our high standards in plant propagation, we can't assure future variegation patterns, coloration, survival or growth rate. Individual plants may vary, even though our mother plants have thrived for over 20 years. We guarantee all variegation is natural without any Chemically Induced Variegation (NO C.I.V.)
