You will receive the plant as shown on the picture or similar in size. The Philodendron Hastatum, or the Silver Sword Philodendron as it is commonly called, is an attractive vining plant with bluish-silver lance-like leaves. Younger Philodendron Hastatum foliage has a more pronounced silver colour and sword shape — as the plant grows, it takes on a greener colour and a more arrowhead-like form. Philodendron Silver Swords have a peculiar growth cycle. These Philodendrons start off as terrestrial plants. As they continue to grow, they shed their hemiepiphytic nature and become full-fledged aerial plants. The Silver Sword Philodendron is an Aroid plant and exhibits qualities similar to those in this plant group. Silver Swords are fast growers. When given structural support to climb onto, these plants grow quicker and develop larger leaves. A hanging Philodendron Silver Sword is equally beautiful because of its trailing habit. Just place your Philodendrons in hanging baskets to fully capture their dramatic foliage. With the right conditions, a Silver Sword Philodendron can reach a height of 1m. ___ PLANT CARE TIPS ___ The Silver Sword enjoys bright indirect sunlight, moist and well-drained soil, and moderate to high humidity. Water your houseplant regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid water logging as this causes root rot. ZONE – 9-11 FERTILIZER – Preferably during the growing season (spring and summer)._______________________ Please be aware that no plant is perfect and WILL have minor cosmetic imperfections.
