Philodendron hastatum, commonly known as the Silver Sword, is a bold and sculptural aroid known for its sleek, metallic-blue foliage. Each elongated leaf gleams with a silvery sheen that gives the plant its name, adding a modern, almost futuristic touch to any plant collection. Strong, upright, and fast-growing, the Silver Sword is both easy to care for and visually striking — the perfect statement piece for bright, contemporary interiors.
