Philodendron sodiroi N.E.Br. is a very attractive, distinctly glaucous scandent aroid with very prominent silver markings on juvenile leaves which fade on more mature foliage. Leaf blades are ovate to cordate with a light green margin, midrib lighter than blade. Petioles are subterete to terete, green to red (especially on emerging new foliage), often conspicuously warty.
It is a moderately fast grower and will climb given suitable support.
Often sold in the hobby as 'Philodendron sodiroi x ornatum' which is an incorrect name.
form the Modern Latin genus name Philodendron (Schott, 1830), form Greek philodendron, neuter of philodendrons "loving trees," form philo- "loving" (see philo-) + dendron "tree" (form PIE *der-drew-, form root *deru- "to be firm, solid, steadfast," also forming words for "wood, tree"). The plant so called because it clings to trees.
