GROWING INDOORS

Amydriums enjoy just bright, indirect light, weekly waterings and room to grow. These aroids are natural climbers, so they will appreciate being given something to dig their aerial roots into and reach for the sky. In order for the foliage to reach its fullest potential, it is important that every root on your Zippelianum has access to moisture and nutrients.

GROWING OUTDOORS

Amydriums grow beautifully outdoors, but they are not winter hardy and should be brought inside once temperatures dip below 55 degrees. Spring through Fall, keep your Amydrium in Full to Partial Shade and make sure it is not receiving any hot, direct sun. Water your Amydrium once it's had a chance to dry out, usually about every 5 days outdoors with moderate temperatures. During periods of extreme heat, you may need to water your Amydrium every 2-3 days.
