Philodendron sodiroi
Silver Sodiroi
Morphology
About
Philodendron sodiroi, described by André, is a climbing hemiepiphyte from the humid forests of Ecuador — an understory plant that ascends tree trunks in warm, filtered light with consistent high humidity and stable temperatures. The base species is immediately distinguished by its cordate leaves patterned with a natural silver mottling over a deep green base: not a chimeric mutation but an intrinsic feature of the species, producing an effect that appears almost hand-painted. Aerial roots at closely spaced nodes grip the support firmly, and the compact internodes keep leaves presented in a tight, refined arrangement. The base species is distinct from the cultivated 'Variegated' form, which shows a more dramatic chimeric white-and-green patterning; sodiroi itself rewards those who prefer the botanical original — elegant, manageable, and carrying a distinguished silvering that needs no enhancement.

Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
