Epipremnum amplissimum ‘Silver’ — The Ghost Climber
Sometimes simplicity wins. Epipremnum amplissimum ‘Silver’ isn’t rare because it’s difficult to find; it’s rare because nothing else quite captures its quiet elegance. Long, slender leaves shimmer with a pale silver-blue sheen, like moonlight caught on water.
Native to New Guinea and Queensland, this climbing epiphyte spends its life tracing the trunks of trees, catching fragments of light from above. As it matures indoors, its leaves elongate dramatically, developing faint midribs that glint under grow lights.
It’s forgiving, adaptable, and endlessly graceful — the introvert of the jungle family. It tolerates lower light, moderate humidity, and the occasional missed watering, yet somehow always looks immaculate.
Grow it as a trailing vine or train it up a pole to reveal its wilder side. With height, the leaves broaden and silver patterns intensify. It doesn’t demand your attention — it earns it quietly, leaf by leaf.
Amplissimum ‘Silver’ is proof that subtlety outlasts spectacle. It’s the plant equivalent of a perfectly tailored suit — timeless, effortless, and impossible to dislike.

The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Epipremnum:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
