- Botanical Name: Philodendron hastatum
- Common Names: Silver Sword Philodendron
- Description: Philodendron hastatum is a stunning aroid known for its elongated, sword-shaped leaves with a striking silver sheen. Native to the rainforests of Brazil, this climbing plant adds an elegant and modern vibe to indoor spaces. Its fast-growing nature and unique foliage make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts and collectors.
- Watering Needs: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a well-draining potting mix to avoid root rot.
- Preferred Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels of 60-80%. It benefits from misting, a humidifier, or being placed near a humidity tray.
- Sun Exposure: Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates lower light levels but grows best with adequate indirect light to maintain its silvery appearance. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Toxicity: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing oral irritation, vomiting, and drooling.
- Mature Size: Can grow 3-6 feet tall indoors with support from a moss pole or trellis. In outdoor tropical environments, it can grow larger.
- Plant Type: Evergreen Climbing Aroid
- Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 9-11 outdoors, though it is most commonly grown indoors in cooler climates.
