An ideal, pole-supported climbing plant for the corner of a bright room, ‘Silver Queen’ has heart-shaped leaves that become larger and more elongated as the plant matures. The chalky, mint-coloured leaves of this easy to grow philodendron have an almost metallic sheen, reaching ever upwards to become an impressive, but manageable houseplant. The plant is best supported by, and will cling to, a mossy pole as it matures.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

To care for Philodendron, provide bright, indirect light, avoiding harsh midday sun that can scorch its leaves, although a little direct sunlight in the morning or evening is fine.
Use a well-draining soil mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark or vermiculite to prevent waterlogging while retaining some moisture. Allow the top 2-5 (1-2in) cm of soil to dry out before watering, ensuring excess water drains fully, and adjust the frequency seasonally—more in spring and summer, less in autumn and winter.
Keep between 18°C and 27°C (65°F to 80°F), away from cold draughts, and maintain high humidity levels of 60-80% by considering using a humidifier, watered pebble tray, or terrarium.
Feed monthly during the growing season with a diluted balanced fertiliser, stopping in the cooler months to avoid overfeeding which can lead to leaf damage. Wipe the leaves regularly to remove dust, and provide a moss pole or trellis for support, encouraging its natural climbing habit.
