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.

Totally worth the good price!
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
My little shi-tzu has a favorite toy. It’s a stuffed lamb that she has, over time, completely torn to shreds. I needed something cheap on another order to get same day shipping, and I’m now tickled to pieces that I thought to find her something new to play with! When the box arrived, I called my little Mocha and built-up the opening of the box letting her know she had something in there. We never really get to buy her anything, so this was just too much fun 😂 As soon as I picked it up, I planned to toss it for her cause she loves to fetch things. Yeah, didn’t happen. She was so excited, she had this bunny out of my hands before they made it out of the box! Love that it’s made for dogs, and comes without things you might need to worry about, like eye buttons popping off, etc. The little tail did come off pretty quickly and since it was small, I tossed it. The bunny itself is played with at least once or twice daily, and she hasn’t broken through to the stuffing yet. So, for a cheap dog toy, it’s holding up really well. Happy with this purchase and would order something from them again.

Adorable, but probably not for medium+ dogs
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
I got this for my 20 and 30 pound dogs to play with, and though I didn't really expect for it to be a durable or long-term toy for them, I think it felt like it was well-made and would probably suit dogs that are up to 15 pounds the best. It felt better than other dog toys in this price point but was filled with holes already after the first time my dog played with it on his own, which I think is probably more of a fabric issue than an actual quality issue, because it was more of a teeth puncture than seams ripping. I hope this helps! I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a small breed dog who doesn't have the same bite strength .

My dog loves these
Size: 9 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Bone
My dog usually doesn’t play with toys but I decided to try this one. She loved it so much that I ordered 3 more to have on hand! Some of the stitching on the first one is coming apart but it’s actually quite durable given how tough she is on it.

Tail came off right away
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
Our little dog kept stealing a stuffed animal off our granddaughter's bed, so I decided to get one that was better suited to him. I liked that there weren't any eyes to pull off, although it does look weird without eyes. He really likes it and carries it around. The bad part is the tail came off almost immediately. He isn't one to chew up toys, so I just don't think it was attached firmly. I haven't tried to put it back on. I may just leave it off. So far the rest of the bunny is holding up.
