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.

Rock-Solid Apple Pencil Replacement for iPad Mini
Color: White
Despite the box arriving pretty beat up inside the Amazon packaging, the pen itself was in perfect condition and it’s been outstanding. It works flawlessly with my iPad Mini (Gen 7, A17). The physical on/off button is a standout feature for me; the tactile click is far more satisfying and reliable than the touch-sensitive controls found on other pens. I primarily use this stylus while flying, taking notes in the air, and it performs exactly how I need it to. The magnetic attachment is especially impressive because it’s strong enough to add real security inside my iPad case. Even in rough air, I don’t have to worry about it getting knocked loose. I previously used a pencil from another brand that worked fine overall, but the weak (or nonexistent) magnetic hold was a dealbreaker. This one solves that problem completely and when it came time to buying a new pencil because I lost the old one, this was my choice. If you’re looking for a dependable, well-built Apple Pencil replacement with a solid magnetic connection and a satisfying physical control, this is an easy recommendation. You also CANNOT go wrong with the price!

Perfect stylus for my iPad.
Color: White
This stylus works great! It was easy to set up, and is perfect for my needs. The pen is the perfect weight and seems to be made of good material. I anticipate it will last a long time. The pen came charged and I still haven’t charged it. If you like using a stylus on an iPad, this one feels just like using a pencil. I like to write, so this has been a great choice.

Great product!
Color: White
I have now purchased two of these (I lost the first one) and they are absolutely a worthwhile purchase. Nicely packaged, easy set up, works great! Battery life is great and the pencil charged fairly quickly as well. Size of the pencil is wonderful, easy to hold and grip. Quality is great as well. 5 stars from me, hopefully I don’t lose this one! 🤣

Works amazingly as intended, good value
Color: White, Color: White
Writes perfectly on my ipad. Worked immediately on my Bluetooth, didn’t have to connect. Holds charge very well from what I can tell. I finished a 10 hour long drawing process without it dying. I’ll update if anything changes. Comes with extra nibs.

Worth the money
Color: White
I have only used the pencil for a couple days, but it is definitely worth the $10 price. It easily turns on, needs no Bluetooth to use, has a battery indicator, charges very quickly, has extra tips, and works well. The only issue I have on my 11th generation A16 iPad, is when the pen is magnetically attached, it covers part of the volume down button and sometimes causes volume mute.
