Before you buy
- Ensure there is at least one healthy node present; a cutting without a node cannot produce new growth
- For variegated forms, check that the variegation pattern appears on the newest growth and shows no signs of reversion to green
- Inspect the underside of leaves for spider mites (fine webbing or stippling) which are common on pothos-family plants
- Confirm the cutting has visible roots or a healthy node before purchasing; unrooted cuttings require propagation experience to succeed
About Amydrium zippelianum
Amydrium zippelianum is a climbing aroid liana native to the lowland and lower montane rainforests of Central Malesia to New Guinea. It climbs vigorously up trees, attaching securely to bark with aerial roots. The mature leaves are highly distinct, being deeply pinnatifid into numerous long, narrow, hanging divisions, giving the plant a palm-like or dissected silhouette. The foliage is elongated, glossy green, and elegant, making it a highly decorative and unusual specimen for collector collections.

Amydrium zippelianum care
- Substrate
- Well-draining mix: 40% perlite, 40% potting compost, 20% orchid bark.
- Watering
- Water when the top 3–4 cm is dry. These are generally forgiving and will tolerate slight drought better than overwatering.
- Humidity
- 50–70% preferred. Most varieties in this group are more adaptable to typical indoor conditions than true aroids.
- Feeding
- Balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks in spring and summer. Monthly in winter.
- Repotting
- Every 12–18 months when root-bound. These vining plants grow quickly and may need annual repotting in peak years.
Common problems
Yellowing leaves
Cause: Overwatering or too little light
Fix: Allow to dry more between waterings; move to a brighter position
Loss of variegation (for variegated forms)
Cause: Insufficient light causing reversion to green
Fix: Move to a brighter position: variegated leaves need more light to maintain their pattern
Root rot
Cause: Overwatering or compacted substrate
Fix: Repot into fresh well-draining substrate; reduce watering frequency
