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.

Worth it!
Color: orange
It’s so cute and really really fluffy. I got the orange one and it sheds a lot but if you brush it out really good with a really good brush you will have little to no shed at all. Also it’s a little to fluffy because I can barely see my dashboard so that’s kinda an issue but overall it’s cute and I get complements all the time.

Worth the buy
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
First I honestly only wanted the steering wheel cover but couldn't find it for sale that way. It comes in sealed bag. The pieces are flat and bunched when taken out. I had a dog brush that I use to keep my fluffy slippers from getting matted and used it to fluff the pieces out. yes they shedded while brushing but not too much. The texture of the smaller two pieces were soft the steering wheel was soft also but had some spots that felt slightly rough. The piece for the brake slid on easily. The piece for the gear shift fit but was pressing against the gear shift button on the left side which kept my car from cutting off so I had to "modify" the piece. Steering wheel piece does still shed slightly but not enough to bother me. Over all happy with purchase yellow was vibrant and stands out. Would recommend.

So fluffly, they're actually unsafe.
Color: orange
It's REALLY fluffy. It blocks the instrument panel, spedometer, etc. It also sheds like crazy. The emergency brake & shift knob covers were overwhelming, too. They do look cool, but it's unsafe.
