Amydrium medium

A climbing aroid of Southeast Asian rainforest that roots up tree trunks, with juvenile leaves pressed flat against the bark and larger, sometimes perforated adult leaves higher up. It is a warm, humid lowland to hill-forest plant, so it wants steady warmth, bright shade and something to climb. Most plants in the trade are tissue-cultured selections such as the silver and variegated forms, which grow the same way but want a little less direct light.
