Dhs. 145.00

Monstera Amydrium Silver, also known as Amydrium Silver Sword, is a striking tropical plant appreciated for its unique foliage. Here are some key characteristics and care tips for this plant:

  1. Appearance: Monstera Amydrium Silver has large, heart-shaped leaves that are silver or greyish-green in color with prominent veins. The leaves can grow quite large, making it a visually appealing addition to indoor spaces.

  2. Light: It thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. However, too little light may result in leggy growth or smaller leaves.

  3. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season (spring and summer), but allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter when growth slows down.

  4. Humidity: It prefers high humidity levels. Regular misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray can help maintain the humidity it needs, especially in dry indoor environments.

  5. Temperature: Monstera Amydrium Silver prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). 

  6. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn't become waterlogged. A mix formulated for tropical plants or aroids is suitable.

  7. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding or stop altogether in the fall and winter when growth slows.

  8. Propagation: Propagate Amydrium Silver through stem cuttings with nodes. Place the cuttings in water or directly in soil with good drainage until roots develop.

  9. Pruning: Regular pruning can help maintain a bushy appearance and encourage new growth. Trim back any leggy stems or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy and aesthetically pleasing.

  10. Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Regularly inspect the leaves and stems, and treat promptly if pests are detected.

By providing the right conditions—proper lighting, watering, humidity, and occasional fertilization—Monstera Amydrium Silver can thrive and become a stunning focal point in your indoor plant collection.
