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.

Good price
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
Most Amazon basics items are of decent quality and this is no exception. Nothing fancy just a decent hand soap with typical viscosity that will work in just about any dispenser including automatic dispensers. Most importantly it does a good job cleaning the hands without leaving your hands all sticky and gooey after washing. Yeah. That really is a thing. I've used hand soaps that after rinsing and drying your left with "gheco hands" like you can pick up a penny with your knuckle. No chemical or overpowering odor. One odd thing. The original order came in a box that looked like the Amazon loader threw it into the back of the van from about 50 feet away .... The bottles cap was destroyed and the soap had leaked into the box. Amazon quickly replaced the item with a new bottle no charge and didn't expect me to return the damaged bottle of course. Thing is the second box came in the same condition. Looked like the punter for the Ravens drop kicked it from the 30 into the back of the truck. Luckily the bottle was undamaged this time.

Convenient refill that lasts a long time
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I bought this hand soap refill to save money and reduce plastic waste, and overall I’ve been very pleased with it. The soap has a pleasant scent that isn’t too strong, and it leaves my hands feeling clean without making them feel dry afterward. I also like how easy it is to refill existing dispensers instead of constantly buying new bottles. The large refill size lasts much longer than expected, which is convenient for a busy household. However, pouring the soap into smaller dispensers can be a little messy if you’re not careful. The packaging is somewhat bulky as well. Overall, it’s an economical and practical option that works very well for everyday hand washing.

This hand soap works very well, has a great scent, and costs less than half of inferior national brands. I have purchased 4 large refill bottles so far.

Great value for your money & smells fresh & cleans well & nice lather
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I love tits effectiveness to clean & you can also add a pump functionality on it or you can just refill smaller bottles that have a pump which you can also buy here on Amazon or refill your old liquid handsoaps with pump, because this cleans well, nice lather , moisturizing feel & great for sensitive skin, smells fresh. I buy this a lot for my personal use & office use. Great value for your money.

Great value hand soap, but watch out for leaky bottles
Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh
For a 6-pack at this price, you really can't complain too much. The soap itself is pleasant — it lathers well, rinses clean, and leaves your hands feeling soft without any dryness afterward. The "Original Fresh" scent is light and clean without being overpowering, nothing fancy but perfectly fine for everyday use. My main issue was that one of the six bottles arrived with a leak — not completely empty but had clearly lost some product in transit, which was a little frustrating. It seems like a packaging or seal issue rather than anything wrong with the product itself, but worth mentioning. The other five bottles were perfectly fine and have been holding up great. If you're looking for a no-frills, budget-friendly hand soap to stock up on for the kitchen or bathroom, this gets the job done. Just inspect your bottles when they arrive. Good value overall despite the one hiccup.
