Description
The Silver Sword Philodendron boasts striking, metallic-looking leaves with a glossy silver finish. This climbing plant, known for its thick stems, typically requires support from a trellis or moss pole to grow. 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. The Silver Sword Philodendron is a low maintenance plant and can adapt to various light conditions, but it will grow best in partially shaded areas with adequate indirect sunlight for more vibrant foliage and robust growth. The Silver Sword Philodendron, being a moisture-loving plant, requires more frequent watering compared to other tropical plants.
