Plant Care

Watering:
Philodendron 'Silver Sword' likes to be watered thoroughly but infrequently. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to not let the plant sit in water. It's also important to avoid getting water on the leaves as it can cause fungal disease. We recommend measuring the moisture of the soil with a moisture meter.

Light:
Philodendron 'Silver Sword' prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so it's best to keep it away from direct sun. If the plant isn't getting enough light, it can become leggy and the leaves may lose their silver color.

Fertilizing:
Feed Philodendron 'Silver Sword' with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). It's important to follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging to avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to leaf burn and other issues.

Repotting:
Philodendron 'Silver Sword' prefers to be slightly root-bound, so repotting is only necessary when the roots have completely filled the pot. When repotting, choose a pot that is only one size larger than the current pot and use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in the spring.
