A unique Aroid from Papua New Guinea that is notable for the palm-like juvenile foliage.  Still somewhat rare in collections, it makes for an interesting subject.  The vine is thin and creeps along the ground until it finds a host tree or a solid vertical surface to climb.  Once it begins to climb, the foliage morphs to a slightly different leaf with thicker segments. 

Amydrium zippelianum should behave well as a terrarium plant due to its petite juvenile form and has proven to stay small if not provided with significant height to climb.  If growing as a house plant, it can be treated basically like any other pot grown Aroid.  Good soil moisture (not saturated) and bright shade.   A support would be best but is not totally necessary.
