Philodendron 'Silver Sword' Kokedama

Philodendron hastatum

Philodendron 'Silver Sword' is a rare find native to the tropics of Brazil. It’s name, silver sword, comes from the fact that the blue-tinged foliage grows in a long form resembling swords or arrows.

Easy to grow, and quite forgiving, it is best-grown in medium light, though it can adapt in lower light levels.  Part of the Araceae family, if given the right growing conditions, it can reach up to 3’ in height, requiring an upright support when it does. It’s best to provide a cane or moss poll on which it can climb. 

Fertilize once a month during the growing season. Philodendrons don’t like to dry out completely between waterings but should not be overwatered as this can cause yellowing leaves. 

All philodendrons are toxic and should be kept away from pets and children. 

Kokedamas are an ancient form of Japanese Bonsai that dates to around 1600 AD. These living planters are made with moss, soil, twine, and a plant. They have a sunny disposition and are low maintenance.

Kokedama plants come with either a Tray for Basic Planter, Grey Patina or Tray for Basic Planter, White Patina.

They also pair well with our Wrought Iron Planter Stand in Small, sold separately.

Please note that the plants you receive may be smaller and less mature than the ones photographed. They will be eager for growth in their new home!
