Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' ('Silver Sword')

Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen', also known as 'Silver Sword' in the hobby, is a silver-leaved climbing Philodendron with arrow-shaped juvenile foliage and a metallic silver-green to blue-silver surface. The leaves are smooth, pointed and narrow at first, then can lengthen into a more spear-shaped outline as the plant climbs.

The species Philodendron hastatum is native to south-eastern Brazil, where it grows as a climbing aroid in wet tropical conditions. In cultivation, 'Silver Queen' needs a warm position, an airy root zone and a firm vertical surface so the stem can lengthen without collapsing under its own weight.

Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' silver foliage and climbing growth

  • Foliage: Metallic silver-green to blue-silver leaves with a smooth surface.
  • Leaf shape: Juvenile blades are arrow-shaped and can become longer and more spear-like as the plant matures.
  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with nodes and aerial-root growth along an elongating stem.
  • Support: A pole, plank or board helps the stem stay upright as the leaves lengthen.
  • Indoor character: A fast, vertical-growing aroid with a clear silver foliage effect.

Care for Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen'

Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' grows best with bright filtered light, steady warmth and a chunky substrate that does not stay dense around the roots. Good stem support matters early, because the plant climbs from node to node and the silver leaves become more impressive when the growth stays upright.

  • Light: Place Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' in bright filtered light. Harsh direct sun can scorch or dull the pale silver leaf surface.
  • Water: Water when part of the potting mix has dried, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new leaves expand smoothly on active climbing stems.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, and avoid cold draughts or cold wet substrate.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky, fast-draining aroid mix with bark, mineral particles and enough air space around the roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot that drains freely and can hold the support securely without tipping.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the substrate breaks down, or the support no longer sits firmly.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at diluted strength.
  • Growth rate: Growth is usually moderate to fast indoors when warmth, light and root aeration are stable.

Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' pruning, propagation and mineral substrates

  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves or cut back a long stem above a node if the plant needs reshaping.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node and healthy aerial-root tissue.
  • Semi-hydro: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are kept warm, oxygenated and not stagnant.
  • Training: Tie or guide young stems before the internodes harden, so the plant climbs cleanly from the base.

Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' leaf marks, long internodes and pests

  • Long gaps between leaves: Move closer to brighter filtered light if the stem stretches and the leaves stay small.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Check for wet, compacted substrate or a pot that stays damp for too long.
  • Brown patches: Direct sun, dry roots or physical leaf damage can mark the silver surface.
  • Root issues: Slow growth with soft stems or yellowing leaves often points to poor drainage or cold wet roots.
  • Pests: Check new growth, leaf backs and petioles for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' toxicity

The leaves and stems of Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and should stay out of reach of pets and children.

Philodendron hastatum name origin and publication

Heinrich Wilhelm Schott described the genus Philodendron in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode. The name comes from Greek philo- or philein, meaning loving, and dendron, meaning tree. Philodendron hastatum was described by K. Koch and Sello and published in Index Seminum in Horto Botanico Berolinensi 1854(App.): 7, issued in 1855. The species epithet hastatum means spear-shaped or armed with a spear.

With its blue-silver leaves and climbing growth, Philodendron hastatum 'Silver Queen' is a strong choice for a vertical aroid display.

Lovely, Cozy Scarf
Color: Grey Melange
I've had a reliable Pringle wool scarf for many years, and it's still a great one. But in recent years, I'm more sensitive to the cold, and wanted a longer, thicker scarf. I saw this one from Style Republic, and decided to give it a try. I've received a number of items from Style Republic recently, and they have all been great, so I had high hopes for this. It's lived up to the hope! The material is really soft. It's enjoyable to hold, and makes it kind of fun to bundle up for a walk in the cold. The "extra long" designation in the product description is accurate. I'm 5'10" and I can wrap this scarf securely around my neck, and then have enough material to drape over my chest and almost down to my waist. The scarf is also wide, so I fold it in half before wrapping it around my neck, and beneath a jacket it provides an excellent underlayer. The material is not itchy at all, even on long, vigorous walks. The style is simple, with just a hint of an edging. I really like this scarf and highly recommend it.

Gorgeous scarf
Color: Grey Melange
Very soft good quality cashmere. I've ordered some items that claim to be cashmere that are either not cashmere at all, or just poor quality. This scarf, by Style Republic, is excellent. It's exactly what cashmere SHOULD be but often isn't, when purchased online. The scarf is gorgious, feels great on, just a really nice every day scarf for cold weather Suitable for men or women--I love it, my husband loves it. recommended!

Super Soft, But Pricy
Color: Black, Color: Black
I have other cashmere items, and this feels the same. Super soft, no itch at all... just a great fabric for skin contact. Mine measures about 69 inches long. To put some other reviews into context, when many of us early reviewers got this, the item's product page title was, "Style Republic Men's 100% Cashmere Extra Long Scarf" - It now says, "Style Republic Men's Solid Colored 100% Pure Cashmere Scarf | 20" x 68" inches" which is more accurate. Apart from that early description issue, there really isn't anything wrong with this scarf. For cashmere, this is an good price for how much fabric is used, and the workmanship is good. The tags are really easy to remove, as they're looped on with just a couple strands. Thank you so much for that!
