I love this plant! I'd say it requires a bit of an effort to look good (the same level of care as verrucosums, melanochrysums...). And I do belive it is worth it. You can hardly find a plant more silvery than that one, and the leaves are so stunning, they really shine. I've been growing mine up a moss pole frome a tiny little cutting. It has given me 15 new leaves in almost half a year, and the leaves are starting to get quite big now. I'm very curious how big they can get. It is growing alongside my velvety phylodendrons, and they are giving off a perfect silvery-velvety vibe that I so much adore.
@AcrylDame I’m from the New England area of the US. I’ve been struggling with this plant as well. I bought mine a year ago from the clearance table of my local nursery. I was told that the official nursery feline, Abby, had taken a disliking to some plants and tore them apart, thusly the ones that survived the attack were marked down. I paid less then 10 dollars. I’ve tried every lighting/humidity scenario, & mine continues to produce tiny misshapen leaves that struggle to unfurl. I’ve successfully propagated with the new plant giving me the same result. I was at the same nursery today and saw these plants in 4 inch pots for $34.99. I haven’t seen them at big box stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s at this point. Honestly, I’m just underwhelmed by this plant. I decided that I’m going to let it go “feral” and wish it the best of luck.
@@elizabethbarry2224 I just noticed Andy's Orchids has this and he is good about lighting needs because orchids, and has this listed as bright indirect light, which might not be what most people keep it in.
I just got rid of mine because it was my third try at it and still looked horrible after it started growing in my care away from the greenhouse. Never again.
Yeah I do and you are so right the silvery Ness of those leaves is so much more striking, ironically enough that plant is harder for me to keep happy 😳😅💚🌿
A friend gave me a rooted single leaf cutting. That was in August. It still only has 1 leaf and shows no interest in developing another 😅 While other plants I got at the same time are popping out leaves left and right. I do love how beautiful the silver looks. It's really lovely IRL. But the slowness, it's killing me 😂
Mine is always getting leaves stuck when unfurling, even in a high humidity greenhouse. Sometimes I can save the leaf, or it's damaged or it breaks completely. Super frustrating.
Hi! I live in Southeast Asia, and with this plant being indoors vs outdoors there is little difference in my experience prolly because of my location. If it is outdoor, it thrives if you put it under dappled lighting (like under a huge tree or let it climb a tree for rapid leaf sizing up) it is humid here but if the plant is new.. it will still have some acclimation regardless. Give it a really really tall coco / moss pole and the leaves will grow bigger exponentially. If grown indoors, just find a spot where it’s comfortable, and with this plant it will really require lots of humidity at first. Once it acclimates it just keeps growing albeit a little slower. Growth is faster outdoors but the risk of melting is higher because the leaves are quite thin even if it’s mature. I have a mother plant with leaves bigger than my palm and another with leaves as long as my little pinkie. Over all just a little balancing with humidity acclimation + dappled lighting+ height and it’s a happy plant for sure. You can let this plant dangle, but to make it look beautiful in my experience, it really requires a pole because the leaves are better vs hanging. Thank you for the video!❤ PS: Forgot to mention that I occasionally feed it fertilizer too to make them grow a little faster. :)
I'm from Perth, Australia. I'm on my third attempt at growing this plant. My previous two attempts were tiny cuttings that didn't love life. They were near grow lights and a humidifier. My third try, I bought an established plant for a good bit more money, let her get comfortable in an entirely new room that is south-facing but sheltered by eaves, then repotted her on a moss pole. She is also sheltered by a monstera deliciousa. I've had her for maybe three months and she's given me two leaves, so not a fast grower in my experience either. Still not entirely sure about her, but giving it a good chance.
Very late ..but really sweet idea!! I love giving away my plants for free, I just put them at the end of the driveway with a big sign ...but now I'm thinking I love your idea, and I hope you don't mind if I steal it.
Ohhh that is so interesting, I need to try the sodoroi affinity again, I killed the one I got sooooo fast 😳😬😬😬😬 but probsnly me giving it the wrong care 😅😅😅
@@Houseplantygoodness Glad I’m not the only who struggles with that plant Is it just me or if there is a too much silver the plant just is much more slow growing and temperamental
Just got mine here in the US a few weeks ago - wasn't too costly. About $25. So far she is doing alright - shes kinda tall so i chopped her top bit this evening and going to prop - fingers crossed!
I love the look of mine and I so want it to grow and fill out but after about a year of owning it all it's put out is 3 or 4 straggley small leaves 🙄(it is on a wood support)... I cut them all back the other week so we're now back to the start. Suppose it was only £12 so can't complain too much.
First I bought plastic one to put next to my bed. Today I walked in Lowe's and I saw real one and I felt like I should try it. I definitely got it for the silver. It's nice to have few plants that are not just green. And that's why I got variegated pothos too. I don't particularly like variegation much but it is all about the context. You want to spice s**t up.
Thank you for all of the information, I've been considering getting this plant, it's been available for 13€ in a local nursery, but I'm not sure if I can keep it alive during the (dry) Greek winter. It also reminds me of Scindapsus "Silvery Ann", of which I recently got (yet another) cutting, because I tend to kill this plant, so I'm still undecided whether I should get one or not.
Have one on a moss pole. It has been slowly making its way up it, but kinda scraggly looking. I am going to cut it when it gets to the top and replant in same pot hopeing to get a thicker plant. I like the way it looks, but for some reason it is underwhelming. It is easy to find on line at low double digits, but it is not in any garden center here in Idaho, USA.
Well,.. I just purchased my second plant. Hence the word second and again I'm going to try. I have had it 12 days and already it looks like it wants to leave this world.🕊 I have tried my⛺️ growtent. Heated🔥 shelves with grow 💡lights, shelves with growlights. I have had it in just about every room in the house🏡 and still I don't think it's going to make it.😵 I'm lost. 🫤 l I will probably try again, one last time if it dies and then give up 🏳️ Oh, distilled water💧 with Marphyl water conditioner. Wow, I'll try it in lower light. Fingers 🤞 crossed. ✌️🏳️🕊
Love this plant, i have lots! But i dont like them in matured form bec. the silvery color quite fades but stil they beauty in my eyes🤩 Still bit pricey here in philippines🇵🇭❤ your vlogs memo! Very informative and doesnt bored me😊
Awww glad you enjoy the content and hello to the Philippines 🇵🇭 👋👋👋 I have so many good friends from there I need to visit the country one day soon, I hear it is beautiful and love phillipino food 🍲 😋😋😋
I was waiting for this one! I have seen huge mature plants and tried to make it climb but it refuse to sise up. I'm sad to seen that even in your conservatory it didn't. So here in France it's not difficult to find one and I bought mine maybe a year ago in a garden center as one of the cheapest of their "rare" plant stand. It struggle to unfurl it's leaves sometimes due to my dry air but it the old leaves dont need humidity to trive and the plant itself seems to hate water. (i finally used my cactus mix for it) From the leaf shape and lack of mature plant and lack of cataphyle on juvenile plants I suspect it to be more close to melanochrisum than hederaceum. Hederaceum is an oddball anyway.
Ohhhh interesting hadn't made the connection to the melano, but yeah I think you might be right and glad to hear I am not the only one who thinks the hederaceum is an oddball. But yeah this is one that I wouldn't want to try in too dry a condition.
You were making me chuckle Memo 😆 Isn’t it funny how we are so differently attracted to houseplants, for me if they catch my eye and they seem happy in my house then I am happy 😊 I do love cascading Neon Pothos, Philodendron Brazil and Lemon Lime… The common one’s 😆 But I am looking forward to growing your Philodendron Florida ghost leaf that I swapped on Saturday 😍
Awww, I still have a very special place for my common plants, they are my solid easy going growers for sure. Ahhh I am sure the ghost will do great in your care, for sure one of my easiest Philos, when it establishes itself give it loads of light and you will get the white white leaves. The mother plant for me has so many I don't know how it photosynthesises.it was so lovely to meet you on Saturday 💚🌿

Love the description of “feral” plant! Perfect description!
Right?! I know we all have them somewhere 🥴😅😂💚🌿
Yes! I will start refering to my feral plants as such from now on 🤣
I got one and mine only gave me crippled leaves. Not a good experience.
Yeah I have heard this from a few people sadly 🥴
@@Houseplantygoodness Maybe its a lack of humidity? I don't have a humidifier running.
@@AcrylDame maybe, always grown mine in high humidity so not sure how it would fare in lower humidity

Much more rewarding from my point of view. With silvery leafs.

Very similar to
Piper Sylvaticum. How does it compare care-wise? X

@@Rayasratchetplants steal away x
An easier alternative is the philodendron majestic
Verrocosum and sodoroii hybrid
I find it matures fast grows easy whilst still having the silver
