Amydrium medium is an epiphytic/hemiepiphytic, vining flowering plant in the arum (aroid) family, Araceae, that is native to Southeast Asia.

Along with the type species, with its typical green leaves, several cultivars have been developed, including the teal-blue, light-gray foliage of A. medium 'Silver',{{Cite web |last=Horst |first=Danae |date=12 October 2023 |title=Plant Know-How: Amydrium medium 'Silver' -- Folia Collective |url=https://foliacollective.com/blogs/plant-care/plant-know-how-amydrium-medium-silver }} or the web-like patterning of A. medium 'Spiderman'.{{Cite web |title=Flora {{!}} Amydrium medium |url=https://florasense.com/explore-plants/amydrium-medium/ |access-date=14 January 2024}} There are also few variegated forms, such as the white-and-green marbling of 'Albo Variegata'{{Cite web |title=Amydrium Medium Albo Variegata (Actual Plant) - EpicAroids.com |url=https://epicaroids.com/product/amydrium-medium-albo-variegata-actual-plant/ |access-date=14 January 2025}} or the lime-green and yellow-"swirled" foliage of 'Galaxy' and 'Mint'.{{Cite web |title=Amydrium Medium Galaxy Variegated {{!}} Indo Tropical Plant |url=https://www.indotropicalplant.com/product-page/amydrium-medium-galaxy-variegated |access-date=14 January 2025}} However, despite its commercial availability, the genera Amydrium, as a whole, is still relatively unknown amongst plant hobbyists, being outcompeted by other, related genera, such as Epipremnum, Monstera, Philodendron, Scindapsus and Syngonium, to name a few.
