The Silver Sword Philodendron, Philodendron hastatum, is native to Brazil and is known for its elongated, blade-like leaves with a silvery-blue metallic sheen. Juvenile leaves start smaller and more oval, then stretch into long, sword-shaped foliage as the plant matures and climbs. What makes this plant desirable is that cool-toned metallic look combined with its ability to size up dramatically when given support like a moss pole.
Place this plant in an east or west-facing window about 1–3 feet from the glass, or a south-facing window 3–5 feet back. Strong light helps maintain that silvery color and drives larger leaf development. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K positioned 8–12 inches above the canopy. If the plant becomes darker green and loses that metallic tone or stretches, it needs more light. If leaves show bleaching or stress, the light may be too intense.
Water using a chopstick or meter and let the soil dry about halfway before watering again. This plant prefers a chunky, well-draining mix and does not want to stay wet. Overwatering leads to yellowing and soft stems, while underwatering shows up as drooping or curling leaves. Giving it a support to climb will encourage larger, more mature foliage and a stronger overall structure.

Let customers speak for us
from 1006 reviewsVery happy with this company and everything I've ever ordered from them. One of my top nurseries to order my plants from! They take amazing care of my future plants 😁
Every plant I get from Mel at Rooted is so happy when they arrive. Such great quality and happy plants!
I don’t even know where to start describing how impressive my experiences have been ordering plants from this shop!
First, my very first order came with a complimentary learning volume on the life cycle and how to eliminate fungus gnats in your plant collection. That alone was worth shopping there. It’s absolutely refreshing to find a retailer who wants your plants to actually be healthy, knowing they could be losing a guaranteed revenue stream simply by not continuing the propaganda or selling the “fixes”.
Next, the plants I ordered were stunningly beautiful, healthy and pest free! They were so well packaged that there was minimal foliage damage, despite the second box actually arriving damaged from transit. My plants were perfect.
The shipping information is well explained before you purchase and the packing materials are very high quality.
Any additional questions I had were answered so quickly and I was pleasantly surprised to discover a bonus plant which I had won in a giveaway nestled in with the ones I purchased!
I’m probably done ordering plants for the season since it is starting to get really cold here in Colorado, but the personal attention, the genuine care and the highest quality plants have earned The Rooted Plant Shop a customer for life in me!
The initial reason I ordered in the first place was because the prices were great. That is still an important thing, I’m frugal and love a deal, but it was so dramatically overshadowed by every other wonderful thing I almost forgot to mention it!
Mell is the best she knows her plants she will also tell u the plant we r looking for if it's for us or not. That's what I love bout her she isn't forcing u to take the plant she is helping u with the plants...
I’ve been wanting a silver dragon and when she got here she was perfect! Thank you Mel!
plants are beautiful and full!! Packing was superb. Super glad ive found this shop. Will be a regular customer!
I ordered the $40 mystery box for a west facing window. It was the first mystery box I had ever ordered and had no idea what to expect. To my joyful surprise, I received a huge dieffenbachia neon panther. She's gorgeous and very healthy. If you're on the fence about buying from this shop, order and have no worries. This is my 4th plant from here and each one has been beautiful and healthy. Definitely recommend this shop!
Always on point! Beyond excellent shipping and quality!
Beautiful plant. I am a sucker for alocasias and this one was on my wish list. I am never disappointed with my plants from The Rooted Plant Shop.
The mystery plant was lovely and far larger than imagined. It was actually 3 plants! A surprise, indeed.

Such a beautiful plant. I was able to see it on the live abd when I got it it looked as beautiful as it did then. This plant amongst many that I have bought from her, really stand out in my collection. I am really pleased. Thankyou again!
