Philodendron ‘Silver Sword’ (Wide Form)

Philodendron ‘Silver Sword’ (Wide Form)
Family: Araceae
Philodendron ‘Silver Sword’ (Wide Form) is a striking climbing aroid valued for its broad, elongated leaves with a smooth, metallic silver-blue sheen. Compared to the standard form, the wide form develops fuller, wider foliage, giving it a bold, sculptural presence as it matures.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; higher light maintains the silver coloration, but avoid harsh direct sun.
💧 Water: Every 1–1.5 weeks; allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings.
🌾 Fertilizer: Monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
🪴 Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when rootbound; use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix (soil + bark + perlite).
🌿 Tip: Provide a moss pole or trellis to encourage larger, wider leaves; consistent light and humidity help maintain its signature form.
