Philodendron sodiroi
Philodendron sodiroi has heart-shaped green leaves marked with irregular silver mottling. The pattern is naturally uneven, so each leaf can show a different mix of green surface and pale metallic clouding.
The plant grows as a climbing aroid with nodes along the stem. A vertical surface lets the vine root as it rises and gives mature leaves more space to expand.
Silver pattern and climbing growth in Philodendron sodiroi
- Leaf shape: Broad, heart-shaped leaves with a green base colour.
- Pattern: Irregular silver mottling varies from leaf to leaf.
- Surface: The leaves can look softly metallic where the pale markings spread across the blade.
- Growth habit: Climbing stem with aerial-root potential at the nodes.
- Maturity: Settled climbing growth can produce larger, more defined leaves.
- Origin: A botanical species recorded from Colombia in wet tropical conditions.
How Philodendron sodiroi develops indoors
Philodendron sodiroi carries its silver-patterned leaves on a climbing stem with nodes that can root into a vertical surface. Rooted nodes on a pole can produce broader, more developed leaves.
The silver mottling is part of the leaf surface. Bright filtered light keeps the markings distinct, while harsh sun can mark the blade and very dim placement can leave new growth smaller.
Philodendron sodiroi care for silver-mottled leaves
- Light: Keep it in bright indirect light so the silver markings remain easy to see and harsh sun stays off the blade surface.
- Water rhythm: Let the upper substrate dry lightly before watering again, especially in cooler rooms.
- Humidity: Moderate to high humidity reduces dry edges on expanding leaves.
- Temperature: Warm, stable indoor temperatures reduce cold-root stress around the climbing stem.
- Substrate: A chunky, airy mix lowers the risk of wet-root stress around the climbing stem.
- Vertical growth: Train the vine onto a pole so the nodes can root as leaf size increases.
- Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the plant dries too quickly between waterings; keep the stem base close to the surface.
- Fertilising: Use a light, regular feed during active growth and avoid heavy doses on a dry root system.
- Pruning: Trim leggy sections above a node if the vine becomes bare, then root healthy cuttings if propagation is needed.
- Semi-hydroponics: Mineral culture can suit established roots if the reservoir stays clean and the stem base remains aerated.
Philodendron sodiroi leaf and root issues
- Smaller new leaves: Low light or unsupported vines often produce more modest leaf size.
- Soft yellowing leaves: Check for dense, wet substrate and roots that stay too cold for too long.
- Weak contrast: Very dim placement can make new growth smaller and the silver markings less distinct.
- Dry edges: Low humidity or irregular watering can mark expanding heart-shaped leaves.
- Stem stretch: Long gaps between nodes usually point to light that is too weak for compact climbing growth.
- Pests: Check leaf backs, petioles and new growth for mites, mealybugs and scale.
Philodendron sodiroi safety
Philodendron sodiroi contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals and should not be chewed or ingested by pets or children.
Published description and name of Philodendron sodiroi
Philodendron sodiroi was described by N. E. Brown and published in The Gardeners’ Chronicle in 1883. The species name honours Luis Sodiro, a Jesuit botanist closely associated with Ecuadorian plant research.
On a stable climbing surface, Philodendron sodiroi can develop broader silver-marked leaves along a supported stem.

Shorts
Color: Sky Blue, Size: 36
Love these shorts, I was very happy with the look, color, weight, and fabric quality. Great value. I wish they had a light pink color in the same style and fabric.

Practicality First
Color: Brown/Black, Color: Brown/Black
This is a simple, no frills watch from a well regarded brand.
It has good water resistance, good durability, and high accuracy.
If all you need is a way to tell the time that won’t fail you, buy this watch.
As it’s solar powered, it doesn’t need to be wound or have a battery replaced or charged in the foreseeable future. This longevity and low effort maintenance was the most important feature for me, and part of why I chose this over a digital watch (along with digital watches potentially being bricked from firmware).
I shouldn’t have to say this but obviously it doesn’t come out of the box charged and working - you need to leave it by a window or something for a day. After that, it will always work so long as you wear it outside every so often. The battery life is claimed to be 2 months but I’m not about to leave it in a closet for 2 months to test this. This is a newer model than the version I’d been trying to buy and it appears to have a more readable face as well as luminescent watch hands which are helpful for telling the time in the dark. It’s also nearly silent so ticking won’t be an issue.
My only complaint is the watchband. It’s a serviceable quick release band, but it’s a bit on the short side and I wanted something of higher quality so I replaced it with a Hirsch 120mm/100mm watchband that actually fits and is altogether nicer than the out of the box band.

The simplest watch there is
Color: Khaki/Black, Color: Khaki/Black
I have a 7-inch wrist and I would like to think that it's the average size (judging from the pictures I have seen from other reviews.) The watch came in from Amazon with zero charge so I charged it for about an hour using a solar watch charger and that brought it back to life. I found that you could charge a solar watch from empty to full in about 5 hours. What I like about this watch is that it fits and feels right on my wrist, is not ostentatious, not flashy, and doesn't crave for attention. You could read the time very well outdoors and even indoors. Even in the dark, the lume is laid-back, but you could still tell the time from the triangular hour markers and the hour and minute hands of the watch. I also like that it has a screw-down case back. I like to tinker with my gadgets and a screw-down case back allows me easy access to the battery when it's time to be replaced. It's also solar-powered, has a 4-month power reserve, an easy-to-operate crown, and has sapphire crystal to boot!
Fun fact: I found out recently that they made these watches in Timex's watch factory in Cebu, Philippines. By purchasing it from Amazon, it actually did a return trip back here in the Philippines!
Update after a month's use: I changed the strap with a black NATO one and it looks even better with the matte finish of the case. The charge appears to remain strong. I'll probably notice the weird erratic second hand movement (the watch does this when the charge is about to drain) after 4 months. Until then, it's not time for a recharge.

Great specs but not much else.
Color: Khaki/Black, Color: Khaki/Black
The 36mm form factor wears small. Even on my 6-7/8" wrist. It could be that I've gotten used to the more modern 40-42mm case diameters on my other watches. Or that the 12mm thickness compared to its slender diameter gives it an odd proportion that makes the watch appear a bit smaller than it already is. But either way, it does feel small on the wrist. So if you havent tried this one on in person, be prepared for that. If you have very small wrists or prefer the aesthetic of smaller watches, then this size will be great for you.
The value of this watch is difficult to pin down. In one sense, well the specs speak for themselves. And Timex has a proven history of reliabilty. But I ranked "value for money" at 3 stars, because at the end of the day you're paying $170 for a Timex. Something about that feels... weird. Timex doesnt have quite the heritage or prestige of say Citizen or Seiko - or heck even Casio for that matter. Its just a very difficult price to justify for a Timex field watch despite the great specs. I hoped in person the dial and hands would be at least slightly more impressive than they appear in the stock photos. But, no they are just as flat and blasé as in the stock photos.
If you're looking for a no-nonsense solar field watch with all the specs this watch has and in this smaller 36mm case diameter, there are very few options out there. Especially under $200 (which is why I purchased it). So in that regard, I suppose its worth it. But at this price point I would like to feel a little more proud of whats on my wrist, in terms of aesthetics and design. And I dont really get that with this watch. I even think the regular quartz version of the the Timex Expedition at around $40-50 has more wrist appeal than this watch. I do like the style of the syringe shaped hands, generally speaking. But keep in mind that a Hamilton this is not. There isnt really the level of detail put into the design to dazzle the eye. Kind of a shame really because with these specs, this watch had a lot of potential to be a classic. Havent decided if Im going to keep it or send it back.

Best watch I've ever owned in my 60yrs
Color: Brown
I purchased this 36mm Expedition North Solar Field watch about one month ago, for roughly $150, and I couldn't be more impressed. When I took it out of the box the first week of January, it had no charge...because it was in a dark box in freezing temperatures. No problem, I shined light from a regular 500 lumen rechargeable flashlight on the watch face and the second hand started to move, erratically at first, but within a minute it was moving normally. I set up the flashlight 3 inches from the watch face and left it on for 3 hours, and it has been keeping perfect time ever since. I do physical labor and this watch looks just as good as it did when I got it a month ago. The low profile keeps you from banging the watch on everything you walk past, or reach for, and the black watch face contrasting with the white numbers and near white dials, makes it very easy to tell the time at night. Also, in the past I had owned quite a few expensive watches, however, my last watch was a Timex Indiglo that I put a Shell Cordovan band on, and the real leather band that comes with this watch is more comfortable than the shell cordovan. I only own 1 watch and wear my watch continuously, only taking it off when I shower, so I feel after a month I have a pretty good read on what this watch is. It is a very tough, reliable, and comfortable watch that I will be wearing for many years to come. In my opinion, the best value for a field watch on the market.
