Philodendron sodiroi is a species of plant in the genus Philodendron native to Colombia.[1] A climbing epiphyte, it was once thought to be synonymous with Philodendron ornatum.[2] Named after Luis Sodiro,[3] it was first described scientifically in 1883.[4] It is most recognizable for the silver mottling on its green, cordate leaves.
