Also called Silver Leaf Philodendron, Philodendron 'Sodiroi' has exceptionally beautiful, heart-shaped leaves with distinctive silver mottling. The leaves get larger as they vine up a trellis or totem and mature leaves can reach 5-8” long. You can also grow it in a hanging basket to create a magnificent display of cascading foliage. Adaptable to many light conditions, ‘Sodiroi’ grows faster and the colors are more vivid when grown in bright light but strong direct sunlight can burn its leaves. Dry out between waterings and keep temperatures between 55-80ºF. Apply a dilute solution of fertilizer every few weeks in the active growing season of spring and summer. This rare climbing aroid is easy-to-grow and prized by collectors.

Beautiful Philodendron

I ordered 3 of the "rarer" philodendrons from Logees. The prices of these have become a bit ridiculous since they have become trends. But I really wanted the verrucosum and the melanochrysum and I trusted Logees to send well-rooted plants, at least. So I decide to order from them despite the increased cost. While watching one of Logees videos on big leafed philodendrons, I spotted the Sodiroi. It looked beautiful in the video so I decided to order that too. Of the three, the Sodiroi was the only one that arrived without significant damage to most of the leaves.

Since it arrived in such great condition, I decided to see how it did as a houseplant. (I have the other two growing outside in pots). It has done wonderfully for me-putting out 3 beautiful leaves with a fourth on the way. My house is maybe 50-60% humidity (even with the a/c running constantly). And it is in a very bright indirect Eastern exposure . The leaves are about 5 inches across. I'm very happy I ordered it.
