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.

A must-read for OBE enthusiasts
Format: Paperback
Projection of the Astral Body I recently read The Projection of the Astral Body by Sylvan Muldoon and Hereward Carrington, and it’s a captivating classic! Published in 1929, Muldoon’s firsthand accounts of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are vivid and pragmatic, detailing his involuntary projections from age 12 and experiments thereafter. His explanations of the astral cord, travel sensations, and the hypnagogic state are clear, avoiding excessive mysticism. Carrington’s scientific editing adds credibility. My only critique: the dated language can be dense, and the small font in some editions strains the eyes. A must-read for OBE enthusiasts

Basic Fundamentals of Astral Projection
Format: Paperback
This book is full of great information about Astral Projection that is presented in a straightforward manner. I have read many books and articles about this subject over the past 10 years. Many are full of scraps of insight that are glued together with abundant amounts of repetition and babble. Mr. Sylvan Muldoon, like many of the great occultists from the early 20th century, has created a work that will refresh the weary, "would-be" traveler by keeping his explanations short and concise. His theory on the astral body being ruled by the subconscious conveys why auto-suggestion is extremely important when attempting separation. He provides the traditional method of maintaining the hypnagogic state via the raised forearm of which Robert Monroe echoes in his own exercises 40 years later. His "Dream True" method is unique to any of the techniques that I have read about in the past. I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone who is attempting the art of Astral Projection.

Good book, quite through
This was quite an in depth analysis on the subject which the author writes from his own experiences, and it seems quite obvious that he is not making any of it up. His explanations can be tedious at times, but this is in an effort to present the information as scientifically as possible, trying to answer any and all doubts and questions that would arise to the skeptical minded person. If you are interested in astral projection, I have never read a more revealing book on the subject.

Astral Projection From A Century Ago
Format: Kindle
This book is roughly a century old. With that comes a slightly different language but not one too difficult to follow. Some of the things that stuck out for me were: * The astral cable or “silver cord.” * The subjects of possession and the demonic. * The detailed suggestions for astral projection. This book could have used some editing ( there is the occasional “I” out of place) in spots but it remains very readable and helpful for understanding what astral projection is and different facets of it.
