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.

Strong Clean with a Gentle Feel
My husband has been looking for a body wash strong enough to handle the dirt and residue from blacksmith work, but still gentle enough not to dry out or irritate his skin. This product checks both boxes with ease. Quick verdict: Cleans extremely well, lathers easily, and despite being tough on dirt, is still gentle on the skin. ✅ What we liked: -Effective cleansing. Easily washes away dirt and grime without needing excessive scrubbing. -Rich lather. One pump creates plenty of foam for a full-body wash. -Thick gel consistency. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts. -Lightweight formula. Doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on the skin. -Gentle on skin. No irritation was noticed with regular use. -Clean ingredient profile. Plant-based, free from parabens and phthalates. -Fresh scent. Cool, crisp fragrance with light menthol/mint notes that aren’t overpowering. -Scent lasts even when the shower ends. -Cruelty-free. Not tested on animals. ⚠️ Things to consider: The scent has notes of menthol and mint, which may not be for everyone. Best for people needing a deeper clean (work, outdoor, hands-on jobs). Great for daily use without drying out skin. For anyone who likes a fresh, light minty scent. Overall, this has been a really great addition to his routine. It performs well for heavier-duty cleaning while still being gentle enough for daily use, which can be hard to find in one product. ⭐️ I included a video showing how much lather you get from a single pump, along with a photo of the consistency for reference.

Relaxing Nighttime Body Wash That Leaves Skin Soft
I’ve been using this body wash during my nighttime showers and it’s quickly become one of my favorites. The scent is really calming, with chamomile, starflower, and blue lavender, which makes it perfect for winding down before bed. The formula is plant-based and gentle, so it cleans really well without leaving my skin feeling dry or tight. I also like that the gel turns into a silky, spreadable foam, so you only need a small amount each time. The bottle is a generous 28 ounces, so it lasts a while too. If you’re looking for a relaxing body wash that smells great and leaves your skin feeling soft and clean, this is definitely a good one to try.

great scent, easy pump
easy to use, nice product pump, smells great and neutral but probably more mens leaning with the woodsy scents. lathers up nicely even on a shower towel that isn't as "loo-fah" like. not sure if this is gentle on skin or moisturizing, but smells good, cleans well, that's all that matters for me. i moisturize later after showers.

Love this body wash!
My family loves this brand body wash and this scent is very nice!! Not too strong, but not too light either. The pump is great for ease of use. We all have sensitive skin and this leaves us smooth, soft, moisturized, and smelling nice. Doesn’t flare our eczema. Good price.
