Amydrium

Amydrium plants, known for their captivating foliage and unique growth habits, have gained popularity among indoor gardening enthusiasts. Belonging to the Araceae family, these tropical plants originate from Southeast Asia and are closely related to the well-known Monstera genus.

With their striking leaves and climbing tendencies, Amydrium houseplants bring a touch of exotic charm to interior spaces. Proper care and attention can lead to lush growth and an attractive display of their distinct foliage, making them a sought-after choice for plant lovers looking to add a touch of the tropics to their homes.

Light & Placement

Amydrium plants flourish in bright, indirect light. Position them near a window with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure, as it can scorch their delicate leaves. East or north-facing windows often provide the ideal balance of brightness.

Watering

Amydrium plants prefer consistent moisture, but not soggy conditions. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering again. Check the soil's moisture level by inserting your finger into the top centimeters or use a water meter.

Fertiliser

Proper fertilization supports the lush growth and vitality of your Amydrium houseplants. Feed your Amydrium every 4-6 weeks with organic plant nutrition during the active growing season, which is typically spring and summer.

Temperature & Humidity

Amydrium plants thrive in temperatures between 18-27°C and higher humidity levels. To create a humid environment, consider using a humidifier, misting the plant regularly, or placing a tray of water near the plant. Pay attention to your plant's leaves. Browning leaf edges or tips can indicate low humidity, while pale leaves can signal insufficient light.

Soil

Choosing the right soil and repotting at the appropriate times are essential for the health and growth of your Amydrium houseplants. Use a well-draining potting mix that provides aeration while retaining moisture. A mixture of coco peat, perlite, and French bark works well for Amydrium.
