Philodendron 'Silver Sword'

Philodendron 'Silver Sword' (Philodendron hastatum)

Few houseplants command attention quite like the Silver Sword. Its elongated, arrow-shaped leaves emerge in a luminous silver-green — almost metallic in the right light — and mature into deeply lobed, sculptural forms as the plant climbs. Whether displayed on a shelf, trailing from a planter, or trained up a moss pole, this is a plant that earns a second look every time.

• Fast grower — with the right conditions, new leaves unfurl regularly, rewarding attentive plant parents
