I did forget to mention how forgiving and loving this plant is. It can tolerate some neglect and doesn't seem to mind if it is a little over or under watered. It still loves you no matter what. Let me know if you've had or currently have this plant and what your thoughts are on it.
I just got this plant. I saw a large one in person recently and fell in love with the shape of the leaves, structure of the plant, and absolutely striking color in person! It is a plant that I find beyond beautiful😍
Roy here in Zone 10B - Phoenix, Arizona. I had a philodendron test garden in the shade under a banana tree. We had a colder winter although it hardly gets to freezing briefly but this year with was a tad colder with a lot of rain. Lots of my philodendrons died but to my surprise this plant was not phased at all. Gets real hot her like 115 or around and no problem. So beautiful even though it looks fragile.
I just bought one of these today! Mine is just a baby though and has the shorter leaf shape. I love the unique color. I'm so glad I bought it after seeing your beautiful specimen!
OMG!!!! I do have this plant and it’s one of my top favorite. I’m sad to hear though that they are almost extinct. 🥲 I’m actually propagate this one as we speak. They are stunning and ,so silver in color with those arrow head shape leaves. I love everything about this Aroid. 🥰
YAAAAAAAAY! I am so glad to hear that you also have one! They are just so spectacular and so well worth having. Soon you will have wonderful new babies...how exciting! I am wishing you the best, enjoy the adventure!
I know. Mine comes in the mail today and ugh. This makes me so sad yet it'll be so much more special to me to keep it growing and keep it happy and healthy.
i can't wait to receive my starter from etsy!!! i had no idea the leaves grew to this shape and i can't wait for mine to get huge so i can propagate and share with others. what a beauty! and thanks for touching on the soil because other vids i watched never mentioned it :')
I am so happy to hear that you have one of these awesome plants. It is one of my faves as well and I believe it is one of the prettiest plants that I own. It definitely shines like a diamond in my collection. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
Your silver sword is stunning and makes me even more excited to receive the one I ordered today. I used to see people so in love with theirs and I thought it was overhyped but I was crazy lol because I get it now. The color, the shape, the size... 😍
You have a beautiful large plant. I just recently got me a silver sword & it was in the clearance section at my local nursery. One thing I didn't realize is how huge it will get. Mine is only a foot tall... for now 😁. I love how you used a tomato cage for support. I have one of those 6foot tall metal storage shelves I may just let this plant go wild up the side 😍
Thank you! This is one of my all time favorites. Every time I see it I fall in love all over again! The staking and caging up method really works out well especially for my Mother Plants in training. As soon as they reach the top I will propagate them to allow them to get really bushy. Hoping in a couple of years they will become true monsters! Thanks so much for watching and wishing you the absolute best on your plant growing adventures! HAPPY GROWING!
Thank you! It is a pleasure to share my plants with all of my friends. I am such a proud plant mama so I am always happy to do it! I am hoping you are having a plantastic day dear and enjoy your weekend!
Thank you and I do love my plants so much. I consider them all my babies. It's amazing how they truly beautify our world inside and out! Wishing you well and sending much love to you all the way in India. Thanks for joining me on my plant growing adventures and HAPPY GROWING!
Hi I just want to say how much I love your channel and I think you are so sweet and your personality is so positive and fun! I have one of these but not as big as yours.. but it is one of my favorites for life. Knowing these are extinct in the wild and makes we want to make sure that this plant stays alive and maybe some day it can be introduced back into its natural habitat. Thank you for all you do! xoxoNikki from Canada
Sobrang ganda talaga po niyan! Very unique color and shape! I have 1 mother plant and was able to propagate ang swap here in the Philippines...the juvenile form is sooo cute as well!
Yes it is just sooooooo beautiful! I never get tired of it. Each time I see it, I love it even more! I am glad to hear that you were able to propagate this successfully. They are such cutie pies also when they are small...and then become gorgeous monsters when they grow up. LOL! Wishing you the absolute best and thanks so much for joining me on my plant growing adventures! HAPPY GROWING! Mabuhay!!!
Your P. Silver Sword is gorgeous! I do have a young plant of PSS and I am in love with it. It seems to be growing well so I am looking forward to seeing it mature. The color of the leaves are just like yours however my young plant hasn't yet come into the sword shape yet so it will be interesting watching it grow and mature.
This is my fav plant and I don't even own one yet. After seeing yours, I MUST find one ASAP! LOL Yours is absolutely gorgeous!! It's huge!!! I haven't ran across one in my area yet but, I'm def on the lookout. There is NOT another plant like it, in my opinion. Thanks, Miss Lady for sharing it, I wasn't aware you had a video on this plant. Have a blessed evening!🙏
I love how big your plants are. A lot of people do a video and talk about let me share some care tips and advice ....umm your plant is a baby you probably haven't experienced the plant issues yet lol. Love this.
Thank you for your on point thoughts and positivity. Yes this really is a special and uniquely coloured plant (btw you look amazing with those eyeshadow colours ) in the beautiful shades of the plant leaves… grey green and sage green are two of my favourite colours, my internal walls are this colour ;so when I saw Silver Swords’s plant leaves I was immediately besotted. Just so tragic it is extinct in the wild.
Thank you and yes this can become a beautiful monster! There is actually two plants in there now...but the smaller one was a part of the bigger one before it broke off and took some time to reestablish itself. I am thinking of propagating the smaller one so that I can grow it in the same pot and making this into an even bigger and fuller pot. It will be a HUGE MAMA! What do you think?
I am glad you have on of these amazing plants too! It is one of my most prized plants and is one of the prettiest that I own. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
These are easy to grow and can grow pretty quickly. They are pretty easy to find. If it is not accessible in your local area you can find them on online plant shops/nursery, Etsy and EBay...etc... I have some rooted potted and planted cuttings but they are only available through plant trade. I am not selling at this time.
No worries...I am a little late replying myself! LOL! Yes get your babies inside...I don't want to hear of any more propagations dying! I hate our rainy seasons as well I always worry. My bigger plants can usually withstand it...it's always my babies that suffer. I am hoping that the rainy weather fades soon and it will be back to your wonderful sunshiney weather. We are all doing fine enjoying life and overcoming the challenges that come against us...but always moving forward. I am hoping you are doing the same. HAPPY GROWING!
OH NO!! I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you kept your initial plant is still alive and growing well. Hoping the she grows bigger and perhaps in the future you can try again.
How exciting and major congratulations!Mine was between a medium to small and had leaves that were a good size on the verge of maturing. I’ve only had this plant for a year. It grew very aggressive for me and in the peak of growth it was throwing off a new leaf about every two to 3 weeks.
I have a baby silver sword and I’m scared because the leaves are curling. This one seems a little more finicky than my other philos (Birkin, moonlight, prince of orange). Not sure what to do! I watered yesterday by bottom feeding but thinking I really need a humidifier 😕
I’ve had a few of these plants but they never seem to take the same leaf shape seen on yours!!! Are there different types?!?! I love the big, broad angular lobes. But the ones I’ve had don’t reach that size/shape. Am I doing something wrong????
M’y God so pretty can wait to see mine beautiful as yours. Do you thing she will be fine in a terrarium under a grow light for now cause she is small thanks 🙏
Thank you and I think I she will love it in a terrarium. If you decide to put her in one I would love to see the results. I am on Instagram under MyTropical Adventures. Best wishes and HAPPY GROWING!
I got mine when it still had juvenile leaves and it too about a year to get to this size. If you give it everything it needs it will grow very fast. Wishing you the best with yours and salamat for watching! HAPPY GROWING! Mabuhay!!!
I have a plant that looks very similar (colour and growing style) but the leaves don't have the triangular shape, they don't go backward behind the stem. Does anyone know what it's called?
So sad and unbelievable this plant is no longer wild, I think they look best with few but large as possible leaves on long stalks on a single stem and light from side so leaves are vertical and with weird "flowers" in spring, grows best if all aerial roots are allowed to develop, sadly with moss pole stem gets too long eventually, experimenting with compost pots that can be slid on pole so bottom of stem can be cut off to reduce height and plant grown endlessly, grows very well horizontally with stem held down to rest on compost, wondering if this would cross-breed with my P. Burle-marx that looks closely related - a "green sword" would look amazing!
