Philodendron Silver Sword
Philodendron hastatum ‘Silver Sword’ is a gorgeous climbing Philodendron that is beloved for its pale, silvery green color and arrow-shaped leaves. As it matures, its leaves become increasingly elongated and tri-lobed. Paired with its climbing growth habit, this impressive foliage adds an instant tropical feel to any room. While it is native to rainforests across South America, this philodendron has become popular as a houseplant.
In its natural habitat, the Philodendron silver sword grows up trees and other vines in the understory of South America’s tropical rainforests. Consequently, it enjoys warm temperatures, filtered light, and consistent moisture. Since it has a climbing growth habit, it will also appreciate being given a moss pole.
Choose a spot directly next to a sunny window, but avoid prolonged exposure to harsh, direct sunlight if possible. At the same time, be aware that a lack of light will result in lackluster-looking leaves and leggy, stunted growth.
The soil should stay evenly moist, but not soggy. To prevent overwatering, allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings and then water well. Always allow the excess water to drain from the pot’s drainage holes to avoid drowning the roots and causing root rot.

from 37 reviewsI was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
We had a great time with friends and new friends. Laughter, coffee, and Plants, BEAUTIFUL plants 🪴 ❤️
I enjoyed meeting Melanie, and she was very helpful in what I needed to do. I really appreciated having someone like her to help me! She was professional, friendly and very easy to talk to and ask questions.
Plants came beautifully packaged and fast. Each plant was healthy and a great addition to my collection. Thank you!
She arrived well packaged along with my other two plants. She is full and healthy! So glad I purchased her!
Love my new fern! She made it to her new home safe and sound. The Rooted even messaged me about what day they were shipping out making sure it was a day the weather wasn’t so hot the plant would scorch. Definitely recommend!
This was a very fun workshop to attend! I learned a lot about different varieties of carnivorous plants, while getting to build my own beautiful carnivorous terrarium! The 2 plants I chose are thriving, and definitely helping with the gnat population in my house.
I am thrilled with my mystery box plants, fantastic experience as usual (I’m a repeat buyer and love getting plants I wouldn’t normally think of purchasing. Love! Thank you so much.
Very happy with the new addition to my collection. Plant is a good size and appears to be healthy. Would order from her again.
I learned a lot and Melanie is very knowledgeable. Easy to understand instructions and information about carnivorous plants. I am looking forward to being able to take good care of these plants. Can't wait for the terrarium workshop!
Omg...the ivy was so cute...smaller than what I expected. I put in bigger pot, love the small, itsy one sent also. Potted him and I'm just waiting. Thank you guys!!!
The 6” Melanochrysum I purchased through The Rooted Plant Shop has become the epitome of my entire plant collection. Without a doubt my best plant purchase to date, and I’ve purchased quite a few! You can’t go wrong, getting plants through this shop. They never disappoint!!
This plant came in perfect condition! Exactly as pictured, healthy and happy roots, and no pests. What more could you want? The owner of this shop is absolutely a peach aswell!
Every plant gets hand picked and hand delivered by Mel. My Fernwood is so adorable and pushing new growth.
