Philodendron sp. 'Peltatum' – Silver-Veined Collector Aroid with Creeping Growth

Peltatum' Philodendron – Leaf Form, Silver Veining and Creeping Habit

Philodendron sp. 'Peltatum' is a striking, creeping aroid with heart-shaped leaves and bold silver veining. The foliage has a slightly quilted surface and develops a cool-toned sheen under bright light, giving it an almost metallic appearance. Often sold under the name Philodendron pastazanum 'Silver', this undescribed species shows key differences: thinner leaves, wider sinus, and colder-toned veining.

Each leaf unfurls with a soft, matte finish and grows increasingly wide over time, creeping laterally with thick, grounded stems. It's a must-have for collectors of rare Philodendron forms – especially those who love silver-toned foliage and ground-spreading species.

Key features and growth structure

  • Leaf shape: Cordate (heart-shaped) with a wide central sinus
  • Color: Cool green with pronounced silver-toned venation
  • Growth habit: Creeping; stems run horizontally along the substrate
  • Leaf size indoors: Mature leaves reach 30 – 50 cm in width
  • Surface: Lightly textured with subtle gloss and flattened margins

Botanical background and natural behavior

This plant is an undescribed Philodendron species, likely related to Philodendron pastazanum (described by K. Krause). It is often referred to in trade as 'Philodendron pastazanum silver' due to the leaf shape and creeping growth. Unlike upright Philodendrons, it sends runners horizontally and produces leaves spaced along a grounded stem. It thrives in warm, humid environments with ample substrate space.

Toxic to pets and humans if ingested – always place with care.

Philodendron sp. 'Peltatum' care guide

  • Light: Bright, indirect light enhances leaf size and silver tones
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist; allow top 2 – 3 cm of soil to dry before rewatering
  • Humidity: Prefers 60 – 80%; thrives in high humidity but adapts well
  • Temperature: Best kept between 18 – 28 °C
  • Soil: Rich, well-draining aroid mix with coco coir, bark, and perlite
  • Repotting: Every 1 – 2 years, or when runners reach container edge
  • Fertilising: Feed monthly with diluted balanced fertiliser
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings with nodes and visible roots – easy to root in moss
  • Hydroponics: Can adjust to semi-hydro with leca or pon if humidity stays high
  • Pruning: Trim runners to shape or reroot for bushier growth

Common problems and how to fix them

  • Drooping leaves: Often due to underwatering or cold stress – check root health
  • Yellowing margins: Result of overwatering or poor drainage
  • Leaf curl: Common in low humidity or compacted substrate
  • Pests (thrips, mealybugs): Wipe leaves often and treat early with neem or insecticidal soap
  • Root rot: Prevent by using airy mix and pots with excellent drainage

Helpful tips for best results

Grow this species in a wide pot or long box to give its runners space to spread. Use moss poles laid flat or coir slabs to encourage rooting along the stem. 'Peltatum' benefits from consistent warmth and gentle airflow – avoid soggy conditions. Silver patterning becomes more visible in cooler, filtered light and consistent humidity. Rotate gently to avoid lopsided growth.

Etymology and taxonomic note

Philodendron means “tree lover” in Greek, though this species grows as a terrestrial creeper. The name 'peltatum' refers to a shield-like leaf shape (from Latin pelta, shield), though it remains unofficial in taxonomy. Its similarities to Philodendron pastazanum place it near the same group, but differences in leaf texture, coloration, and vein pattern suggest it may represent a distinct, undescribed species.

Cute read
Format: Kindle
This is a shorter book about a fox shifter who is mute but has telepathy for those she establishes a close emotional bond with. She leaves a rather cold home when she turns 18 and takes a train across country, running into one of her mates on a bus. It's a fated mates book, there's instant attraction but it takes a little while to give into the feelings. It's a fairly low spice level, more like a sweet palate cleanser. It's a standalone but there will be more books set in the same town.

So much feelings!
Format: Kindle
Collette was not voiceless in the least and to say she is by far my fave FMC of all time right now it's no understatement. Best 1st read of the year ever!! I love how possessive each of her men were and OMG Lena is the best BFF and girl could ask for! I'm pretty sure I need this gorgeous book on my shelf pronto!

A Fox Amongst the Wolves
Format: Kindle
Collette has been forgotten about her whole life. Her parents don't bother with her, others don't try either once they realize she uses sign language to speak, and she's a shifter surrounded by humans that hate her kind. On her 18th birthday, she runs away. She takes the train and then bus wherever it can get her as far from home as possible. A missed bus brings her and a mysterious but kind man to Willowdale. What happens next is a story of fated mates, shifters, magic, new best friends and found family, and a stolen child. I'm sad this was a shorter read but only because of how much I loved Collette, Dylan, Hunter, Luca, Lena, and the others in their community. I love how detailed the characters are even with the shorter story. You can tell their characteristics easily, and the lead in to book two is done so well. I loved this insta love book with just the right amount of drama.

An easy PNR book to cure book hangovers.....
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this as a short story; but nothing truly pulled me into this world to want to keep reading each story. I can sense the overarching villain arc w/ the HAF; yet it still wasn't enough to capture me long-term. It felt like too much focus was placed on progressing the romance part that everything else took a non-existent back seat. This did work well for my intentions of getting over a book-hangover slump. So there's that lol. A Tip to overcome a PNR book hangover, from a wonderful series or novel......read a trope-y, lighthearted, PNR that is easily predictable but adorable. Like this book. Honestly, I'm rarely into short stories that are turned into a ridiculous amount of books on different PNR characters. So I'm not the best at judging the merits of these stories. I'm a long-haul type of reader that lives for a series surrounding 1 lead female character & her harem (or singular partner). Occassionally, I'll find a series of short stories that are interesting enough to finish or pull me in completely. The rarity of that is countable on 1.5 hands, compared to the literal hundreds of fiction books I've read lol. With all of that, I will say this was fun because of the FMC's difficulties growing up & how that made her strong, the end reveals of her life, & the cute Epilogues. I never felt truly connected to any of the characters; but I did feel slightly compelled to just finish it to see how plot points would end. Unfortunately, due to a lack of character backstory explanations, I still don't understand Collete's "magic". Very little time was given to flesh out the backstory of the world this occurs in. I couldn't even guess what type of magic occurs in this world, aside from what little was revealed. A random scene sticks out to me...... we're introduced to a new magic type, in passing. No dialogue to expand. No hint at anything really. Then the scene moves on. That moment felt pointless to even mention, afterwards. It felt like the author was more concerned w/ romance than storyline. This is a common issue I have w/ short stories....authors write them for whatever reason; but too often it's an "either or" theme.....EITHER the author is writing ONLY for romance w/ storyline taking a minor role OR writing ONLY for storyline w/ some romance that ends up feeling forced. As I mentioned earlier, only a handful of short stories series have ever had a balance of both sides, for me, that I wanted to read all of them.
